"Logan Lucky" sees Steven Soderbergh back to heist films with the redneck version of "Ocean's 11". It's a lightheartedly fun and tastefully directed film, but ultimately lacks memorable moments or characters except for maybe Daniel Craig's Joe Bang.
While most heist films take time to explain the whole plan and variables beforehand, here we mostly find out things retroactively or as they are happening. It's a refreshing structure, but there are too many "set up" scenes that don't get properly explained until way later into the heist and ultimately drag the pacing down. The first half also takes a long time to introduce each character but never gets us emotionally involved.
Nothing groundbreaking, yet an enjoyable film with no highs and no lows. I definitely enjoy this kind of mainstream films from Soderbergh rather than farthouse pretentious stuff like "Unsane".
