‘Logan Lucky’ Clip: Daniel Craig Weighs The Pros And Cons Of Pulling Off The Heist
Daniel Craigis best known for tracking down international threats as the secret agent James Bond, but late this summer, he’s going to break that image by playing a bleach blonde criminal with a Southern-accent inSteven Soderbergh’s newest film.Logan Luckyfinds Daniel Craig behind bars as Joe Bang, an expert thief (though I guess he can’t be all that great if he got caught) who the Logan brothers (Channing TatumandAdam Driver) are keen on recruiting to help them with robbing the Charlotte Motor Speedway during one of the biggest NASCAR races of the season. However, in a newLogan Luckyclip, Craig has to weigh the pros and cons of the heist to ensure it’s worth pulling off first.
The more I see of Daniel Craig in footage, the more I am excited for the movie in general. I’m glad that Joe Bang isn’t just a character who is over the top and crazy all the time, but rather has a more calculated and reserved side to him. The way he calmly explains to the Logan brothers how he approaches a new job is quite methodical, which makes me think the reason he got caught is because something went wrong, rather than him being a bad thief. Then again, he could be explaining things in a slow, relaxed way because he thinks the Logan brothers won’t completely understand him otherwise (since he seems to regard them as a little dimwitted).
Logan Luckyhas the feel of a redneck Ocean’s Eleven, and that sounds absolutely fantastic to me. There’s even a big ensemble cast to go with this one that includesSeth MacFarlane, Riley Keough, Katie Holmes, Katherine Waterson, Dwight Yoakam, Sebastian Stan, Brian Gleeson, Jack Quaid, andHilary Swank. This will certainly be a fun way to wrap of the blockbuster summer in the middle of August.
