13 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (Which Aren't Blockbusters)

10. Logan Lucky

Steven Soderbergh Side Effects
Open Road

Release Date: August 18

The Plot: Lunk-headed brothers Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde Logan (Adam Driver) attempt to turn their bad fortune around by pulling off an epic heist at North Carolina's annual Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race.

Why It's Going To Be Awesome: This is Steven Soderbergh's first theatrically-released film since 2013's Side Effects, so it's naturally exciting to see what he's going to serve up for his first project out of "retirement".

The filmmaker's exceptional track record speaks for itself, but what about that cast? Joining Tatum and Driver are Daniel Craig, Hilary Swank, Katherine Waterston, Riley Keough, Katie Holmes, Seth MacFarlane, Sebastian Stan and Macon Blair.

The set images leaked online so far suggest a screwball romp that doesn't take itself too seriously, and should help round out the summer in highly entertaining fashion.
