The most underrated tool for assessing the worth of a movie is generosity of spirit: How does a filmmaker treat his characters, and what does that say about his view of the world? Steven Soderbergh’s heist comedy _Logan Lucky_–starring Channing Tatum as a divorced West Virginia dad who, out of desperation, masterminds an elaborate robbery of North Carolina’s Charlotte Motor Speedway–is one of the director’s most exuberant pictures. And it riffs on the best impulses of humankind rather than the worst. Tatum’s Jimmy Logan appears to be a victim of the family curse: a bum leg has led to the loss of his job, and his ex-wife (Katie Holmes) has told him she’s moving to another state, taking the couple’s pigtailed mite of a daughter (Farrah Mackenzie) with her. Jimmy entices his bartender brother Clyde (Adam Driver), who lost part of his arm in Iraq, and his tough-cookie hairstylist sister Mellie (Riley Keough) to join him in stealing a bunch of loot. This requires busting the local explosives expert, Joe Bang (Daniel Craig), out of prison. The master plan includes fake salt, cockroaches painted with nail polish and a chalkboard equation explaining the science behind making a big boom. “Or as I like to call it,” Joe says, “a Joe Bang.” This messy hash of flimflammery comes together, in the end, with ace line-cook clarity. But the pleasures of _Logan Lucky_ go far beyond its mechanics. The actors are all marvelous, and their characters defy cartoonishness even as they dare us to see them only as cartoons. _Logan Lucky_ is close in tone to Soderbergh’s superb _Out of Sight_ (1998), adapted from material by the great Elmore Leonard. Leonard could concoct dazzling plots, but he was really more interested in exploring why humans think as they do–and teasing out twinges of recognition in all of us. The _Logan Lucky_ script is attributed to one Rebecca Blunt, who is rumored to be a fictitious person. If only more not-fictitious people could write scripts like this. Soderbergh financed it independently, without big studio money, creating a magnificent movie that comes disguised as a modest one. Or as I like to call it, a Joe Bang.
