Masterminds

(2016)

In Masterminds, an entertaining crime comedy film, the audience is taken back to the Southern United States in the late 1990s, where an extraordinary bank heist is about to take place. Based on the infamous Loomis Fargo robbery of October 1997, the story revolves around David Ghantt, a security guard working for an armored car company.

David, played by Zach Galifianakis, leads a mundane life until he falls under the influence of his co-worker Kelly Campbell, portrayed by Kristen Wiig. Together, they devise an audacious plan to steal millions from their employer and live a life of luxury. The hilarious gang also includes Steve Chambers (played by Owen Wilson) and Jandice (portrayed by Kate McKinnon).

As the heist unfolds, chaos and mishaps abound. David's clumsiness and naivety make him the perfect pawn in this ambitious operation. The group finds themselves being chased by a relentless FBI agent, played by Leslie Jones, who tries to bring them to justice.

Masterminds delivers a rollercoaster of laughs as it showcases the bumbling criminals' attempts to outsmart their pursuers. With its witty dialogue, slapstick humor, and loveable cast, the film provides an entertaining and lighthearted take on a real-life crime. Will this unlikely group of misfits succeed in their daring heist, or will their plans crumble under the weight of their own incompetence? Watch Masterminds to find out.
