On the surface Logan Lucky is a somewhat slight heist tale, but being Soderbergh, it is wonderfully constructed through tight focus on character and storytelling that makes it very satisfying. Another take on ordinary people in small-town America, the film takes a careful and somewhat leisurely amble through the set-up, but the pay-offs are well worth it and the amusing lines and gags very enjoyable. The minutiae of character and delivery of dialogue make the film so engaging and watchable, in particular Channing Tatum (charming), Adam Driver (hilariously droll), Daniel Craig (magnetic) and Riley Keough (genuine). It says something of the quality of the production that actors of the calibre of Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes and Katherine Waterston are content with very minor roles. This understated film offers much to enjoy to many levels.
