The all-star crime comedy became a critics’ favorite, but failed to achieve greater success.
While Adam Driver has rightfully climbed onto lists of Hollywood’s best actors in recent years, one of the actor’s most notable works isn’t even his roles in “Star Wars” or “The House of Gucci,” but a comedy that recently became available to all Netflix users.
The film “Logan Lucky”, released in 2017, joined the films with a record-breaking star cast and, despite the convenience of the genre, received universal critical acclaim, but failed to find mutual understanding with the audience.
For Driver, Logan Lucky marked the first non-franchise project in which the actor received a leading role, having previously appeared primarily in Star Wars or in supporting roles. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, for whom the film was also a solid effort, Logan Lucky follows Jimmy, Clyde and Mally Logan as they decide to pull off the most audacious heist in history after Jimmy is fired from his job for no good reason.
In addition to Driver himself, who plays Jimmy’s brother Clyde, the film stars Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes, Sebastian Stan, Hilary Swank and many others.
“Logan Lucky” became one of the biggest hits of summer 2017, but still didn’t get much attention from viewers – with a budget of $29 million the film only collected 48 million without breaking even at the box office. However, the film was cheered by reviews from critics, who rated ‘Logan Lucky’ 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
