David Ghantt discovers the true meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other people's money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell who soon lures him into the scheme of a lifetime. Along with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible and makes off with $17 million in cash...only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall. With the bandits blowing the millions on lavish and ridiculous luxuries, they leave behind a glaring trail of evidence. Now on the lam and in over his head, David must dodge the authorities, evade a hilarious hit man, Mike McKinney, and try to turn the tables on the ones he trusted most.
Leave your thoughts about Masterminds.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Julia RabanAt its best, the movie feels like an extended skit, but the script feels witless and is far too focused on moving along the convoluted plot. |
| Cine PremiereDiana Sánchez UrangaA comedy that works particularly thanks to its cast and its unpretentious tone. [Full review in Spanish] |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekPainfully unfunny, 'Masterminds' feels like a movie its own moronic characters might have made. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerLaura DeMarcoThis comedy of criminal errors is played with wonderfully zany, black, slapstick humor. |
| indieWireKate ErblandIt’s every cheap, fast, loose, pointless joke in the book, and barely any of them can clear a solid laugh. |
| The Monitor (McAllen, TX)Brooke CorsoThis is a film made for a specific audience whose members delighted in the anachronistic eccentricities of Hess' past films. If you found those tedious or too outrageous, this isn't for you. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyThe whole thing is annoying and bad. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Sexual Content, Profanity, etc. - also Available) |
| Entertainment WeeklyChristian HolubMasterminds has been “coming soon” for so long it would put "Batman v Superman" to shame, but the end result is an entertaining comic thriller with physical showcases for many of Saturday Night Live’s best recent veterans. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMasterminds delivers for the most part. Kate McKinnon, as David’s wife, does her usual frozen-face, crazy-eyed weird thing, but this time she’s funny. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansMasterminds may be as dumb as its characters sometimes, but it's a good, entertaining kind of dumb. |
