Review
Logan Lucky is a 2017 heist comedy in which two West Virginia brothers, one a construction worker with a prosthetic leg and the other a bartender missing an arm, recruit their sister and a demolition expert to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during a major NASCAR race in an effort to break their family's run of bad luck. The story unfolds as a caper centered on family loyalty, clever planning, and rural Southern life with an ensemble cast including Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, and Riley Keough. No identity-driven themes, activist dialogue, or modern social-justice framing appear in the narrative, marketing, or public discussion of the film.
