REVIEW: Logan LuckyBy Quinn OxleySeptember 1, 2017I sit down to plan my week. I check movie times for the week of September first, and I see all the same showtimes as last week. I figure Fandango just hasn’t been updated yet. I learn there are no wide releases this week.

I drop to my knees and shake my fist at the sky.

Then I return to the box office archive and purchase a ticket for Logan Lucky. And I’m very pleasantly surprised.

The best way I can describe the plot of Logan Lucky is by asking you to imagine a marriage between Ocean’s Eleven and The Dukes of Hazzard. And it’s got Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, and… yeah, some curiously random cameos from Sebastian Stan and Hilary Swank.

Did it take a weird turn at the end? Yes. Is it a masterpiece? No. Did I enjoy most of it, though? Absolutely. And I would see a second installment, too.

There’s something very endearing about Logan Lucky’s down-to-earth, simply style; its heart is in its cast of its real, intriguing characters, and its mastery of subtlety. It trusts its audiences to put some pieces together without laying them out in the proper order ahead of time. This works to the film’s detriment toward the end, but more often than not, it’s executed more than effectively.

Daniel Craig’s accent can get grating, but that’s negligible.

In this week’s absence of a wide release, definitely check out Logan Lucky, and prepare yourself for the incredible movie month that will be September (hopefully).

Rating: 7/10
