Our take on Logan
James Mangold strips the superhero film down to bone and dust in this 2017 drama, set in a near future where a weary Logan scrapes by near the Mexican border, caring for an ailing Professor X in hiding. His attempt to disappear from the world and his own legacy collapses when a young mutant arrives, hunted by dark forces. This is a somber, violent character study more than a spectacle, closer in spirit to a road-worn western than a comic-book blockbuster. It suits viewers who want their action anchored in grief, aging and consequence, and who can meet mature, brutal content head-on rather than looking for escapist fun.
