"That is total bullshit. George R. R. Martin was supposed to deliver The Winds of Winter to his publisher over two years ago."
Review by matt lynch ★★★★

Fuck it, nobody's allowed to make caper comedies except Soderbergh from here on out.

Review by brat pitt ★★★★ 9

i tried to push the fact that this is just, as they actually say in the movie, Ocean's 7-11 out of my mind. i really did. i did my best to not think about how perfect brad pitt would've been as joe bang. "daniel craig is giving a great performance," i thought to myself. "and since brad did Ocean's Eleven, there's no way he and soderbergh would do another heist movie, right?"

the credits roll. i go on the imdb trivia section as per uze. "Michael Shannon and Matt Damon were a part of the cast. Both dropped out due to scheduling conflicts." matt damon? co-star of Ocean's Eleven?

so there was no excuse. i clench my teeth. shake my…

Don’t call it a comeback (he’s been here for years), but Steven Soderbergh’s self-imposed exile from film directing is officially over, and his inevitable return to the big screen confirms what most of us have known all along: The guy is a lot better at making movies than he is at not making movies.

Hollywood’s most restless iconoclast, Soderbergh couldn’t take a vacation if his life depended on it; his “retirement” was shorter than the break that many major directors routinely take between projects, and during that time he directed two staggeringly great seasons of “The Knick,” executive produced both “Red Oaks” and “The Girlfriend Experience,” and shot one of the defining cinematic experiences of this or any other century,…

Steven Soderbergh: *teleports directly in front of Thick Ass Channing Tatum*

Stacked Ass Channing Tatum: *jolts, thickly, out of surprise*

Steven Soderbergh: baby girl i'm gonna need you....i'm gonna need that thick ass big screen magic for this new movie. i'm gonna come out of retirement for that SHELF of an ass. i'm gonna put you in american flag booty shorts, you're gonna answer that phone, and i'm gonna hold the shot on that meat for a millisecond longer than necessary before i pan up to you, ok thickfreakness?

me in the theater, sweating and dabbing my brow: THERE IS NO ENGLISH PHRASE MORE POWERFUL THAN "DIRECTED BY STEVEN SODERBERGH"

Review by Nathan Scott ★★★½

"We need a real computer wiz, like one of them letterboxd boys"

Minus the Hollywood end-of-heist-deus-ex-machina montage, this is my kind of film. Loved it.

Bonus points for proud dad stuff I dig that for some reason (ty dad)
Review by Nuno Costa ★★★½

Viewed on The Movie Network

It is fair to say that director Steven Soderbergh knows his way around a heist flick.

The plot of Logan Lucky (2017) is perfectly described within its own script as "Ocean's 7-11".

Steven Soderbergh is a director that has made a slew of different types of films over the years like Sex, Lies and Videotape (1989), Traffic (2000), Solaris (2002), Che (2008), Contagion (2011) and Magic Mike (2012).
In Logan Lucky he channels his own Ocean's 11 (2001) remake.

Soderbergh clearly has done things his way...for example.

According to IMDB: This was the first movie directed by Steven Soderbergh since announcing his retirement from film. The last was Behind the Candelabra (2013).

Fun oddball heist that ends out of nowhere.
Review by francescoramic ★★★★★

Crazy, that's the first word what I have in my mind when I watched this movie. I like so much how Craig played his role. I watched for more result in german language using boxxy software.

σκεφτομαι συνεχεια αυτη την ταινια
Review by Will McGee ★★★★½

The second Soderbergh film I've seen, and the second heist one. Having recently revisited Ocean's Eleven, I realize just how much of this movie is taken from that movie almost point for point, but the added element of the North Carolina setting adds some personal appeal for me (that's where I live!), and the characters are more than different enough to set it apart from Ocean's cast of suave experts. As always, the tertiary characters are filled out with some great cameos, and casting Channing Tatum as a chubby redneck and Daniel Craig as trailer trash is hilarious in and of itself. There are just a few things in this movie that feel unnecessary, mainly the parts with Katherine Waterston and Sebastian Stan, but they're funny enough to get a pass even if they don't add anything to the plot.
Review by Connor ★★★★★

The news broadcast at the end says it better than anyone, "Ocean's 7-11". Marvelous ensemble, I had a lot of fun watching these characters, they weren't necessarily complex, just funny folks to watch. Daniel Craig being my favorite, then good old one-armed Oscar Isaac.
