Aug 17, 2017 · The movie is put together with the no-fuss confidence of Soderbergh's best entertainments, staging comedic banter and suspense sequences with equal assurance, even playing sly perception games with the audience by making you wonder how smart or dumb the characters (and the movie) actually are.

In many ways, Logan Lucky comes across as a not-so-subtle nod to the films that Steven Soderbergh made a name for himself in the mainstream world by directing. Specifically, Soderbergh’s latest feels like a distant, slapstick-infused relative to his Ocean’s Eleven trilogy, which maintains the same style and ingenious crime plot that were present in each of those films, but replaces Danny Ocean and his slick, professional crew with some lovable, redneck amateur criminals this time around.
The film has been billed by many as Soderbergh’s long-awaited directorial return, after embarking on a self-imposed exile from movies following the release of Side Effects in 2013. But to call Logan Lucky that feels a bit disingenuous, considering that Soderbergh has still found ways to keep himself busy over the past four years. Not only did he also release HBO’s Behind the Candelabra in 2013, but he’s directed several of the best-looking episodes of television to grace the small screen over the past few years with Cinemax’s short-lived period drama, The Knick. That’s not to mention, of course, that he also served as cinematographer and editor on 2015’s Magic Mike XXL after directing its predecessor in 2012.
But still, Logan Lucky is indeed Steven Soderbergh’s return to feature filmmaking form, and it should come as a delight to Soderbergh fans everywhere when I say that Logan Lucky is every bit as fun and well-made as any of the filmmaker’s other directorial outings. It’s part Ocean’s Eleven and part comical farce, with a whole lot of delightful Southern drawl sprinkled on top.
Based on a screenplay by Rebecca Blunt, Logan Lucky follows Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde (Adam Driver) Logan, a pair of down-on-their-luck Southern brothers who conspire to steal money from the racetrack (which Jimmy was just fired from) on its busiest day of the summer. Along the way, the Logan Brothers recruit a number of various neighbors and relatives to their cause, including their speedster sister, Mellie (Riley Keough), a convicted pyrotechnics expert appropriately named Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), and Joe’s cantankerous brothers, played by Brian Gleeson and Jack Quaid. Each of the characters have their own motivations for working on the heist, while Jimmy and Clyde are busy worrying about a supposed family curse that may or may not be affecting them, and which emerges as a recurring theme throughout the film.
With his latest directorial effort, Soderbergh has made a film that not only constantly pokes fun at its own characters and their lives, but finds a way to imbue each of them with a soul and heart along the way. Logan Lucky being a fun, slick, and cool ride shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who’s familiar with Soderbergh’s work. But th...
