Trying to reverse a family curse, brothers Jimmy and Clyde Logan set out to execute an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Soderbergh's heist comedy was greeted as a warm, unpretentious crowd-pleaser — efficient, funny, and content to be exactly what it is. Most critics celebrated its light touch and working-class charm, though a vocal minority found it slack and overrated, closer to a missed opportunity than a success.
“This is a good-times film that doesn't put on airs, dress to impress or pretend to be something it isn't. It just aims to please and does a pretty good job of it.”
Todd McCarthy·The Hollywood Reporter
“precision-tooled entertainment made by experts, and sometimes more than that. Watching it is like finding money in the pocket of a coat that you haven't worn in years.”
Matt Zoller Seitz·RogerEbert.com
“a terrific, twisty, funny-as-hell crime flick about so-called hicks who decide that making America great again starts right at home.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“It doesn't work. Logan Lucky is as charming and welcome as toenail fungus.”
