IF anyone knows how to make a feel-good caper flick, it's Steven Soderbergh. Exhibit number one was Ocean's Eleven (2001) and its two sequels; now, the director is back from a filmmaking hiatus with Logan Lucky, a low-rent, high-fun version of Ocean's featuring a crew of redneck robbers channelling their inner Danny Oceans.
Soderbergh, a keen observer of the American working-class culture, championed blue-collar workers in the past with Erin Brockovich (1999) and Magic Mike (2012).
He does more of the same with an ensemble cast in his latest offering, about a laid-off worker determined to get his own back at the system that let him down.
