Masterminds (2016)

A mediocre caper with a decent cast doing their best. The admittedly remarkable true story angle is interesting but then the movie can't seem to make up its mind as to what type of story it's telling. Is it a slapstick farce or a dark comedy? Much of the movie is played for broad laughs but some elements (namely Jason Sudeikis) are from a totally different film. But one that seems far better since Sudeikis is the best part of the movie as this sadistic assassin. Some do alright like Owen Wilson and Leslie Jones. Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig slum it though while Kate McKinnon continues to baffle me as an actress.
