MASTERMINDS (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Masterminds styles itself with light, easy comedy that follows the antics of Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, and Zach Galifianakis in a script based on a true story. With every possible ability to go awry, a plan to rob an armored truck company succeeds. It’s a simple story, but worth a watch.
