Synopsis: Jimmy Logan (Tatum) lost again his job. He and his brother Clyde (Driver) want to organise a robbery during a NASCAR race in North Carolina. They plan it with the Bang brother, Joe (Craig), Fish and Sam.
Review: The main interest of the movie, to me, is the observation of the people and the region that almost never appears in any movie and has actually a lot to tell. The story itself is entertaining. A typical robbery movie with some humour during the cast of the robbery team, some thrill during the coup itself. Unlike other robbery movies (Soderberg is not getting bored by them!!!), there is no high-tech, the fast cars are not used to escape. Nice idea is the perfect alibi of escaping from jail just for the robbery and come back, like in the Korean movie The Prison. The view on North Carolina and Georgia country side lifestyle is cool because it is often forgotten by Hollywood filmmakers. The slow life, the heat that you feel all along the scenes, the rivalry from family to family, the village parties, the creativity for problem-solving, the appreciation of modest life.  The acting is quite good, especially Adam Driver (Hungry hearts, While we're young) and Riley Keough (Jack & Diane, Dixieland).
Rating: 5 /10
