Time - Stephanie Zacharek

Independently financed and distributed by Soderbergh, Logan Lucky is a magnificent movie that comes disguised as a modest one. Or, as I like to call it, a Joe Bang. Read full review

Paste Magazine - Will Leitch

Aug 15, 2017

Soderbergh has been an indie wunderkind, an anarchic prankster, a self-sabotaging bomb thrower, even a studio hack. Logan Lucky isn’t the best movie he’s ever made, but it’s pointing him a most fascinating new direction—the auteur as compulsive entertainer. He’s well on his way. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Chris Nashawaty

A fizzy, twisty Southern-fried heist flick that’s more enjoyable the less you try to dissect it. Read full review

The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy

Jul 24, 2017

Working with a script by first-time writer Rebecca Blunt, Soderbergh has made the sort of breezy, unpretentious, just-for-fun film that scarcely exists anymore, one almost anyone could enjoy. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Kimberley Jones

Heartfelt felicitations to Soderbergh on his rebirth of the cool. Read full review

The Seattle Times - Moira Macdonald

Aug 17, 2017

Soderbergh keeps the action light and playful, and lets the cast members find their own silliness within it. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Logan Lucky is not a contemptible piece of work. It’s a genuine effort by talented people that never quite comes off. Read full review

This a movie that is very subtle, but none the less it is perfect. It has a lot of cliché's in it, but they are good cliché's. I'd recommend this movie to anybody.

Jimmy Logan isn't having very much luck. His pro football career was ruined when he blew out his knee. His brother Clyde lost his hand to an explosion while serving in the military.

His pro football career was ruined when he blew out his knee. His brother Clyde lost his hand to an explosion while serving in the military. With nothing left to lose they hatch a plan to steal money from the vault of the Charlotte Speedway. What follows is a hillbilly caper. I have to say I found this movie to be very enjoyable. Daniel Craig in particular has to be commended for being virtually unrecognizable. It was a very enjoyable two hours spent watching the film.… Expand

Another unexpected surprise in this 2017, I had no expectations for this film, even considering it was Soderbergh's return, I did not even saw a single trailer, I went to see it because of Soderbergh's name and I honestly think that in the end that was what made me enjoy it so freely.

In a way Logan Lucky is basically Ocean's Eleven, come on, even the film mentions it and although you could actually think it's something bad surprisingly ends up helping it, everything works because everything is so different, the characters, the scenarios and let's say its conclusion.

I will not delve much because frankly there is not much to go deeper, this film knows to what it plays and what it offers and it gives you just that, you will have good entertainment and several laughs, seriously, the scene with the prisoners asking for the books of A Song of Ice and Fire killed me.

Is Worth it? totally, Logan Lucky is two hours of solid and unpretentious entertainment, something that is always appreciated, is a Soderbergh's best? no, but the only reason it excels over other works from him is because the same reason I mentioned, this movie tells you directly what you will see and that is exactly what it delivers.… Expand

I rate this a 7, and not an 8 purely because it says it's a drama and I don't really feel that. I love this Texas red neck styled heist movie.

The directing style is not remarkable but it's varied enough not to feel boring and always keep you sharp and entertained. The actors did have a great performance, also the accent is mostly on point in my opinion. There are a few plot twists but they can be easily foreseen which makes the ending a little cheesy. But the Humor makes up for some slight mistakes the movie has. It's a really funny movie, and entertaining one which is always warmly welcomed. Overall the movie is very good but as I said, I rate it a 7 and not 8 because of the 'Drama' tag, which in my opinion is not really.… Expand

A fun premise, but the film rarely takes full advantage of it. A roadside bar in West Virginia seems like a good place to find some interesting characters, but we never get to see any.

A roadside bar in West Virginia seems like a good place to find some interesting characters, but we never get to see any. A Nascar race seems like a perfect location for some fun heist hijinks, but instead we just get some cashiers and a few security guards. The main character's motivation is pretty weak: laid off for some uninteresting reason, not really struggling for money (his daughter seems well cared for), and he's not motivated by revenge. We meet a few characters that seem to hold promise, but they ultimately disappoint, and the film decides that there's just going to be one scene where we bring out everyone's quirks, then those quirks are absent from the rest of the film. A cursed high school quarterback, an Iraq War vet, two morally dubious religious converts, and an eccentric bomber sounds like a great setup with plenty of ways they could play against one another. But few of the fun scenes that you'd imagine ever materialize, and the long/uninspired editing doesn't do the film any favors. The film also has an awkwardly long epilogue, which is one of the few times that I've thought that a montage would have improved a film (rather than awkwardly lingering on characters for 20 unneeded minutes). There are a few genuinely good laughs and the heist is solid, but this ultimately feels like a film that needed a few more drafts of the script and a much more quirky editor.… Expand

a taste of the south, bot not enough flavor. the movie drags on even after it has nothing new to say. i m not sure what hillary swank, katie holmes and the rest of the great supporting cast is doing in this movie. even the adorable, charming Farah mackenzie is nothing more than a weak plota taste of the south, bot not enough flavor. the movie drags on even after it has nothing new to say. i m not sure what hillary swank, katie holmes and the rest of the great supporting cast is doing in this movie. even the adorable, charming Farah mackenzie is nothing more than a weak plot device. daniel craig is a miscast yet watchable nonetheless.… Expand
