Review of Masterminds (2016) by Kenny C — 10 Oct 2016

Masterminds sat on the shelf for over a year waiting for a release date. While it's a forgettable, unoriginal, basic film based extremely loosely on the true story, it's entertaining and fun. Both the positive and negative you'll read about Masterminds will be accurate.

Galifianakis is surrounded by a funny cast, so he can't get in his own way, as he does so frequently in this type of movie. Director Hess steps out of his normal style and does OK, but nothing in this movie stands out. Ultimately it's the cast that makes Mastermind as enjoyable as it is.

There's no reason to spend money watching Masterminds, but would be a good pick for free on a pay channel.
