Coming to Bluray from director Steven Soderbergh, Bleeker Street and
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is the race to revenge led by LOGAN LUCKY.
Jimmy Logan (Channing Tatum) feels like his life continues
to be plagued by a curse. Losing his job doesn’t help, dealing with ex-wife
Bobbie Jo (Katie Holmes) and adorable pageant daughter Sadie (Farrah
Mackenzie).
Brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and sister Mellie (Riley Keough)
stick together as family trying to do what’s right. When they decide that isn’t
happening, Jimmy and Clyde decide they are
going to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway and it will only work if they get the
help of Joe Bang (Daniel Craig). That means Clyde
has to get himself incarcerated.
When the day for the heist approaches, everyone has a job to
do and Jimmy is making sure they get it done. What looks like chaos and mayhem
is actually a coordinated show of force – just their way.
FBI Agent Sarah Grayson (Hilary Swank) is sent in to investigate
after the robbery and the gang puts the world right – in their way. Not about
to give up, she is frustrated by what seems to be the perfect crime.
Just know not everything is as it seems when dealing with
the Logan ’s!
Tatum as Jimmy is a sweet and charming dad, a brother
dealing with sibling issues and a man just plain tired of the struggle. It
isn’t hard to give the southern charm considering Tatum is just that – minus
the revenge issues. Drive as brother Clyde is
softer spoken but when he does talk make sure you listen. When Jimmy tells him
of the plan, brother Clyde may have a few
questions but none of them bring his loyalty into question.
Craig as Bang is absolutely hilarious. I couldn’t stop
laughing when he uses a certain term for the prison garb he is stuck wearing.
This is certainly an interesting role for Craig to take on and the blonde hair
is pretty bangin’ too! Keough as Mellie also doesn’t hesitate to work with her
brothers on the plan but her relationship with Sadie is sweet.
Mackenzie as Sadie is as adorable as she wants to be and
dealing with adults is just not part of her day. Instead, she wants to show her
love and her rendition of John Denver’s Country
Roads is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and heard. Holmes as Mom
Bobbie Joe isn’t thrilled with Jimmy and his inconsistent fathering. Swank as
FBI Agent Grayson just can’t seem to get a handle on what went down on robbery
day!
Other cast include: Jim O’Heir as Cal, Boden Johnston as
Dylan, Sutton Johnston as Levi, David Denman as Moddy, Charles Halford as Earl,
William McCullough as Bobo, Jack Quaid as Fish Bang, Brian Gleeson as Sam Bang,
Dwight Yoakam as Warden Burns and Seth MacFarlane as Max Chilblain. Cameos
include Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Gordon and LeAnn Rimes.
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has just added an
amazing film to their library and making it available for us all to experience
and re-experience in our own home theatres. There are films of every genre
available from scary to drama to family films. For more of what they have to
offer please visit www.uphe.com.
The story is twisted, funny, smart, different and
interconnected with people who know how to make it all come out right. Each
character is uniquely different with their own trust issues embedded into the
storyline.
Director Soderbergh brings a crispy to this southern-fried
heist using auto racing for a little down home fun. Leading the audience down
the two lane highway of goofiness, I’m a fan and I don’t mind saying so!
In the end – see how the other half steals!
