Hop Film: "Logan Lucky"
Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig plot to rob a racetrack in Steven Soderbergh’s (Magic Mike) high-spirited redneck heist.
2 brothers, 3 arms and 1 incredible plan. This “gravity-defying, ridiculously entertaining new film” (The New York Times) marks Steven Soderbergh’s welcome return to big-screen directing. West Virginia family man Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) teams up with his one-armed brother Clyde (Adam Driver) to steal money from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. They will need demolition expert Joe Bang (a nearly unrecognizable, but hysterical Daniel Craig) to help them break into the track's underground system. A few speed bumps: a timing mix-up requires them to pull off the heist during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race, and Joe Bang is currently incarcerated.
A modern-day Robin Hood tale, Logan is a loose, confident heist film that hums along with a sweetly satisfying blend of reality and fantasy. While Craig gives a performance for the ages, Tatum proves his acting chops, balancing effortless magnetism with unforced modesty. Terrific support comes from Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes, Dwight Yoakam (!) and Hilary Swank. Welcome back, Steven, you’ve been missed!
