The one with Logan Lucky, Detroit, It, and American Made

Steven Soderbergh’s new heist thriller Logan Lucky, with Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and introducing some guy called Daniel Craig, gets Mat’s attentions. Simon casts his eye over Tom Cruise’s latest American Made and Katherine Bigelow’s powerful Detroit. Mat then puts on his bravery trousers and faces the latest cinematic version of Stephen King’s It.

Otherwise  there’s a distinct lack of news, and Celebrity Deaths (Yay Mickey Rourke still lives), so this week you get a whole fistful of reviews and, sadly, Any Other Business.
