Really really fun movie to watch. The characters all nailed their part and did a fantastic job. It was interesting, funny and the heist was brilliant.
A los que no nos gusta, pues no nos ha gustado, hablo en plural pero es a mí. Es una película muy especial. Tienes que entrar en ella o no te va a gustar y yo no entro en la película. Eso de que todo sea en tono comedia, no me va. No me puedo creer nada y entonces no me funciona.Los actores estarán estupendo, si entras, pero si no, es un conjunto de actuaciones excesivas.No me gusta la fotografía. Pero es que no entrando, no sé si la fotografía le va a la película, aunque a mí me parece demasiado clara y con mucha luz.No me gusta como dirige. No me gusta cómo pone la cámara. No entiendo por qué usa angular unas veces y otras no.Yo la he visto, porque hay que verlo todo pero no la recomiendo.Those of us who do not like it, we did not like it, I speak in the plural but it is me. It is a very special movie. You have to enter it or you will not like it and I do not go into the movie. That everything is comedy, I'm not going. I can not believe anything and then it does not work for me.The actors will be great, if you enter, but if not, it is a set of excessive performances.I do not like photography. But it is not entering, I do not know if the picture is going to the film, although to me it seems too clear and bright.I do not like how he directs. I do not like how he puts the camera. I do not understand why he uses angular sometimes and not others.I've seen it, because you have to see everything but I do not recommend it.
When Cohen brothers make a film, it seems as if its plot is secondary - almost irrelevant. Because the true beauty of their unique style is the characters and the little moments they share on screen. Like a real life in a miniature: pointless and sometimes even absurd at each particular moment - but priceless when put together.Steven Soderbergh is no novice in the cinema business, with an established style of his own. But this time, it seems, he decided to approach his clearly beloved topic of high-profile heists (let's not forget that the Ocean's Eleven franchise is a child of Soderbergh's creation) and do it in a "characters first" way. So instead of the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt and their impeccable smiles we have a bunch of amateurish looking hillbillies from West Virginia, a divorced father who's been laid off lately, his one-armed (sorry, one-handed!) brother and a trio of other brothers who look as if Kid Rock is their style icon. Together they are gonna try to pull off a heist only an American would fully appreciate: stealing a ton of cash from the company organizing the NASCAR races.If the "characters first" approach was indeed the goal, then it worked out beautifully. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver are so natural as brothers that in some close-ups you start seeing an even physical resemblance between those two, no matter how far apart their real looks are. And Daniel Craig, looking like a German rave band frontman from the 90's and talking like a true backwoods dweller, is simply brilliant. I mean, if there was a cinematographic award for the most unlikely character transformation, then this "from Agent 007 to a hillbilly gangsta" switch would be the hands-down winner.But this is where all the "but"s start appearing. Because, after all those extraordinary gentlemen (and a few ladies to spruce up this team) finish introducing themselves and all their quirks are known, there's little Logan Lucky can offer to maintain the suspense and keep you involved. The heist itself is typical, its twists and turns may not be absolutely predictable but you definitely expect some second layer of events to reveal itself - and you get what you expected. The third act addition of Hilary Swank, a die-hard FBI investigator keen to put those responsible for the heist behind bars, does spice up things a little, but it's still not enough to make the film's final as intriguing as its opening."Ocean's 7-Eleven", a pun that the film makes of itself, is a nice way to describe Logan Lucky. A crime comedy without the high grades of pathos. But that pathos was actually essential to make Ocean's Eleven at least seem grand. Without it, the only thing left is some dudes trying to steal money in a quirky way. Yeah, the dudes were fun while it lasted, but the rest is the same old routine we've seen a hundred times. And no smoke screens or robotic hands could distract you enough to stop seeing that.
This review contains spoilers.Logan Lucky is a heist movie starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Daniel Craig. The movie starts with the main character working a construction job. He is then fired due to an injury and he begins creating the heist plan. He employs his one-armed brother, and a felon that specialized in explosives. The entire movie is centered around the heist's planning, execution, and aftermath.The acting from the entire cast is great. Even the child actors fit their roles well. The movie takes place in the American South and all of the cast members have a regional accent. This helped the audience actually believe in the setting and characters. Daniel Craig does an exceptional job with his character of Joe Bang. He has the mannerisms of a convict and he pulls it off with conviction.The directing in the movie is somewhat bland. Scenes did flow together well and each image captured its spirit correctly. In this type of movie, the somewhat bland direction still did not detract from the direction.The writing in this movie had a great feel. The movie felt like it took place in the South. Mannerisms and even accents felt localized. The characters were well-written. None of the movie felt out-of-place. Although the plot was formulaic and basic, the dialogue and setting were enough to elevate it further. There were not any big plot holes in this movie.I would recommend Logan Lucky.
