Where can I watch Masterminds?

In the outrageous 2015 comedy-crime film Masterminds, directed by Jared Hess, we’re taken on a wild ride through one of America's largest bank heists, all orchestrated by a hapless night guard named David Ghantt, played by Zach Galifianakis. Set against the backdrop of the sleepy Southern U.S., the film unfolds as David, a bumbling but endearing character, finds himself caught in a web of ambition and absurdity when he teams up with a group of eccentric criminals. Their scheme to rob an armored car company spirals from a laughable plan into a chaotic adventure, showcasing a motley crew of characters, including the manipulative mastermind (Kristen Wiig) and the over-the-top hitman (Owen Wilson), who all add to the film's quirky charm.

Masterminds expertly balances humor and crime, diving into themes of friendship, betrayal, and the often ludicrous nature of chasing the American Dream. As the heist unfolds, viewers are treated to a blend of slapstick comedy and unexpected twists, making it hard not to root for this misfit band of thieves. While the film’s pacing sometimes falters, the strong performances and ridiculous situations keep it engaging. Ultimately, Masterminds is a lighthearted take on the lengths people will go to for a taste of excitement and fortune, perfect for those who enjoy a comedic spin on real-life events.
