Logan Lucky

West Virginia NASCAR heist; Stephen Soderbergh; Channing Tatum and Adam Driver (unlikely as brothers; both good), Daniel Craig (bleached blonde - I originally typed that as 'bond' - explosives expert who needs to be broken out of and back into jail to do his part; menacing but never really dangerously and a lot of fun to watch) and sundries (including a small and winsome turn from Katherine Waterston, a slightly larger and maybe equally pleasing one from Hilary Swank, a pretty convincing take on hillbilly womanhood from Katie Holmes, and a very convincing one from Riley Keough, who has been popping up here and there). Moves quickly but never too quickly, and sticks the landing with its ending.
