Review: ‘Masterminds,’ a Tale of Grand Larceny and Meager Gray Matter : https://youtu.be/_MPPwI3Go9s
“I blame popular culture,” Zach Galifianakis says at the start of this comedy, the ridiculousness of his Southern accent rivaling that of his very fluffy hairstyle. His character, David Ghantt — a real-life felon who took part in an ostentatious crime in the late 1990s — is rationalizing his own miscreant deeds for the audience of “Masterminds,” a would-be memorable piece of popular culture that applies the TV-sketch-show-surreal-farce approach to a based-on-true-events caper picture.
The results are mixed. This isn’t necessarily because the movie is finally seeing release after spending more than a year in the vortex of the bankruptcy of its studio, Relativity. The director, Jared Hess, actually completed and saw the release of another feature (“Don Verdean”) since completing this one. Mr. Hess, whose other output (“Napoleon Dynamite,” “Gentleman Broncos”) has been more determinedly eccentric, reins in his approach for a nevertheless consistently outlandish retelling of the North Carolina Loomis Fargo robbery of 1997, nicknamed the Hillbilly Heist on account of its perpetrators’ social status. Not to mention their lack of, let’s say, nuance.
