"League of Thieves" shows the magic of Logan Lucky Logan

's Jimmy and Clyde brothers (Channing Tatum, Adam Driver) partner to steal money from the big vault of the NASCAR arena The story, it's not a little bit of money, it's a big bag of money.



Jimmy was a forklifter for a company that filled the caves beneath the NASCAR racetrack, but was fired because of his disabled leg. He decides to steal money from the vault below the arena with Clyde. They don't just call their sister Merry (Riley Keough). And also brought in old friend, bomb veteran Joey (Daniel Craig) and his two brothers.

This is not the whole story, Joey is still in prison now, so he has to get him out first, and then send him back without knowing it. Ordinarily, it is not easy for this group of diaosi to successfully enter the high-tech vault with low-tech methods. To this end, they made a seamless plan. Like all complicated plans, they encountered many accidents on the sidelines, but in the end, they were all overcome one by one.

At the climax of the NASCAR race, the crowd was surging. Those who bought tickets, bought food and beverages, sent a lot of money to the underground vault. It's just that they didn't know that the money went into the sack Jimmy and Clyde had prepared. By the time the theft was discovered at the arena, they had already fled.

Both the Jimmy family and the Joey family are white, but they are both at the bottom of the society, the so-called southern hillbillies, often without a normal job, and their days are always a bit stuttering. They have many grievances, and it can be assumed that most of them will vote for Trump. Similar to the movie "Going to Hot Water" not too long ago, they are also two brothers who rob a bank in the south (see my blog post "Going to Hot Water and Fire"). They all clearly hope that the next generation can jump out of their miserable life. Today, it is not easy for high school graduates to find a good job in a small city, whether in the South or the North. What's more painful is that they don't have a national group and organization that speaks for them. They rarely even get sympathy from the media, and no one listens to their complaints. In this election, two very different candidates, Sanders and Trump, have both mentioned their situation and won their support. Although in the rich country of the United States, in any case, the poor still have a house and a car, but the deteriorating life is indeed uncomfortable. As for the story of robbing a bank or stealing a vault to get rich, it can only be a fantasy.

For Chinese people, reading is the best way out. But people don't necessarily like this way.

It's not like the two brothers rushed into the bank with guns in "Going to the Soup and Fire", and walked when they got the money. Jimmy and Clyde's plans are intricate, and there are so many helpers in. Needless to say, loopholes are inevitable, which also increases the tension. Daniel Craig, who has been acting as a British MI5 agent, has become a southern country bumpkin here, showing off his muscles in front of Merry shirtless, and writing explosive chemical equations with a pen on the wall at critical times, also increasing. The joke of the story.
