Daniel Craig Is 'Genius' in Logan Lucky

Before he returns to the screen as James Bond, Daniel Craig can be seen in Logan Lucky alongside a star-studded cast of Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Seth MacFarlane, Katherine Waterston, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank, and more. The film follows three Logan siblings from West Virginia as they attempt to rob North Carolina's Charlotte Motor Speedway. Here's what critics are saying:

  • Marking the return of "retired" director Steven Soderbergh, Logan Lucky is "essentially a red-state Ocean's Eleven." And while it's not quite up to par with Soderbergh's earlier heist film, it's "very funny" and "a hell of a lot of fun," writes Chris Nashawaty at Entertainment Weekly. He picked up a "whiff of condescension in the film’s twangy Hee Haw-stereotype characters," but found it "more enjoyable the less you try to dissect it."
  • It's not "deep or particularly original" but it has "the no-fuss confidence of Soderbergh's best entertainments, staging comedic banter and suspense sequences with equal assurance," writes Matt Zoller Seitz at RogerEbert.com. "There's no wasted motion. Everything happens as it does for a reason." When all is said and done, you'll see the film for what it is: "a winner," Zoller Seitz writes.
