Film No. 101 (2017) December 29th 9.45PM Virgin In-Flight Entertainment.
"4. Establish Clear Communications." (Rule 4 of the Top Ten rules for robbing a bank attached to Jimmy Logan's fridge).
Didn't Steve Soderbergh say he was finished directing feature films 4 to 5 years ago? Thank the good lord (I'm starting to sound like Channing's Jimmy Logan already) he hasn't followed through on his promise. Lucky Logan brings not just a smile to the face but a downright laugh out loud quality, a quality missing from many films in 2017. Think of Oceans Eleven without the Hollywood polish. The magic here comes via a dead pan delivery from a cast connected to a heist idea founded on rules attached to a fridge by a magnet. Soderbergh is perhaps the master of the heist genre. Lucky Logan is the exclamation mark to this claim. 10GUMS.
