Logan Lucky (Blu-ray Review)

29th December 2017 By Tim Isaac

Starring: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes
Directed By: Steven Soderbergh
Running Time: 116 mins
BBFC Certificate: 12
UK Release Date: December 26th 2017

Our Score

Director Steven Soderbergh hasn’t done very well at retiring. After a career that’s ranged from Sex Lies & Videotape, Erin Brockovich and Traffic to the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, Out Of Sight and Magic Mike, he announced that his last feature film as a director would be 2013’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra. However, just four years later he’s back with Logan Lucky.

What appears to have brought him back wasn’t just the story and script, but that they managed to find a way to essentially cut out the usual mainstream film machine by pre-selling foreign distribution and TV/streaming rights and then releasing the movie in the US himself.

You also have to wonder whether he was intrigued by the premise of the movie. Soderbergh’s most successful films are the Ocean’s movie, where everything is impossibly glossy, the people – both the criminals and the marks – are suave, sophisticated and wealthy. With Logan Lucky he returns to the world of the heist, but here the criminals are blue collar Southerners, the type of people the movies usually dismiss and wouldn’t treat as being smart enough to pull off this type of thing.

The film centres around Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum), who gets laid off from his construction job at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, just as he discovers his ex-wife (Katie Holmes) wants to move out of state with him daughter. To help pay for the court case, Jimmy enlists his Iraq War veteran brother, Clyde (Adam Driver), to help him rob the Speedway track during a major NASCAR event, using their knowledge of the systems to help them pull it off.

They need some help though, including their sister Mellie (Riley Keough), and the Bang brothers, the dim-witted Sam and Fish (Brian Gleeson and Jack Quaid), and the smarter and more useful, Joe (Daniel Craig). There’s a problem with that though, as Joe is already in prison, so they’ll need to get him out before they can use his skills, and hopefully get him back in again before anyone notices. However, some people think the Logan family is cursed – a curse that has already cost Jimmy his promising football career and Clyde one of his arms in Iraq – which isn’t exactly something you want hanging over you when you’re planning a high stakes heist.

Despite its very different setting, the movie has more in common with the Ocean’s movies than it might first appear. It’s a film that’s fun, very slickly made, move at a quick pace and is often pretty funny, but ultimately it doesn’t really add up to an awful lot. There’s nothing wrong with a movie that’s just a fun diversion, but there are times when Logan Lucky appears to be striving and failing to achieve more.

Also similar to Ocean’s, it’s aided by a cast that appears to be having a really good time. Channing Tatum may wear more clothes than he did last time he worked with Soderbergh on Magic Mike, but he relishes the role of Jimmy, bringing a flare for understated comedy and a great ability to act as a central pivot around which the other characters rotate. Similarly, Adam Driver shows a lighter side than many will have seen from him before, although it’s Daniel Craig who makes the biggest impact as the bleach-blond, unpredictable and very entertaining Joe Bang. They all help keep things rolling along in entertaining fashion.

There are moments when the film gets very close to seeming like it’s making fun of its uneducated, hillbilly characters, and indeed with different actors and another director the whole thing could have been horrifically insulting. Tatum and co. ensure that even at moments when it’s close to stereotyping, the characters retain a sense of dignity and, despite their criminal dealings, a sense of decency.

By the end you’ll have had a good time, but that’s about it. Sometimes though, that’s all you need.

Overall Verdict: A fun and very entertaining heist movie, that may not have much point to it, but entertains thanks to a good cast and smart direction.

Gore Verbinski May Direct Channing Tatum In The X-Men Spinoff, Gambit

8th October 2017 By Tim Isaac

Fox has long harboured ambitions to make an X-Men movies based around Gambit. Since 2014 Channing Tatum has been attached to the movie, which has moved through various directors and screenwriters, but still hasn’t gone in front of the cameras.

They’re now trying to push forward again, with Pirates Of The Caribbean director Gore Verbinski now in talks to helm the movie, according to THR. Previously the likes of Doug Liman and Rupert Wytt have been attached to direct the film, but it has been completely reworked since then.

Verbinski directed the first three Pirates movies, then followed that with the less successful The Lone Ranger. Most recently he went slightly smaller scale with the creepy A Cure For Wellness. Gambit currently has not release date set.

New Kingsman: The Golden Circle Trailer – The Americans are getting in on Taron Egerton’s action

20th July 2017 By Tim Isaac

Following the success Kingsman: The Secret Service, it’s no surprise we’re getting a sequel. That follow-up will introduce us to the American equivalent of Taron Egerton’s Eggsy, with the likes of Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Channing Tatum, and Jeff Bridges joining the throng. And Colin Firth’s back too, with Julianne Moore as the villain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organisation in the US called Statesman. These two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy…’

A new trailer for the movie has been released, which you can take a look at below, along with a selection of new character posters. It’ll be in cinemas in September. [Read more…]
