Logan (Channing Tatum) is not feeling so lucky. He gets fired from his job at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, his ex Bobbie Jo (Katie Holmes) is moving his daughter across the state line and he is flat broke. Together with his brother Clyde (Adam Driver), he comes up with a clever plan to solve all of their problems. They just need to break Joe Bang (Daniel Craig) out of prison, recruit some help, buy some trash bags and gummi bears and hope for a little luck.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh, this is like a redneck version of Oceans 11. In fact, near the end of the film a women calls the caper Oceans 7-11. Ha! Not quite. But, it is a decent film. It starts out pretty slow - like the southern drawl that the whole cast uses. Then, it picks up a little speed in the final act when all is revealed. The cast is great. The movie is fun enough. You just have to stay with it. The payoff is at the very end. It is clever but not great. Still, I liked it enough to say go see it.
