Entertainment Blog #352 | Masterminds [2016] : Robbing for Love...
Bank heist movies are highly enjoyable to watch. You know, the robbers use high-tech stuff to break into the safes, and stuff is kinda funny. And what they do to get rid of the police is next level. But when we watch some #based-on-true-story stuff, it's hard to believe that it was that easy to rob a bank. And this #movie is a great example.
"Masterminds" is a 2016 #crime #comedy movie. It is based on the October 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery in North Carolina. Can't believe it was that easy to rob in the USA in those days. The movie stars Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and even Jason Sudeikis for a short action punch.
The story goes around David Scott Ghantt, who works at Loomis Fargo & Company as a driver. For context, Loomis Fargo & Company is a cash handling company that provides services for ATMs and banks. David works at the Jacksonville branch. He has a fiancée, Jandice, and they are planning to marry. But he kind of likes Kelly Campbell, who works at his place.
David is trusted by the company and given a key for the safe. After some time, Kelly was fired. is not the sweet girl David knows. She is friends with Steven, and she told him about David. And Steven sees an opportunity for a fortune through David. So he wanted Kelly to set up a meeting with him and discuss this matter.
Now, David is married to Jandice, but still, he can't say no to Kelly. He loves her, but Kelly has different intentions. Blinded by love, David says yes to the plan. Now, David sees nothing but a luxurious life with Kelly in Mexico.
So the robbery takes place, but not quite as planned. David was supposed to take all the CCTV records, but he missed one. After successfully retrieving money, David was given $20,000 and sent to Mexico with the promise of giving him $3 million afterwards.
In the interim, the identity of David is revealed as the thief. But others are not revealed. And the good thing is, he's not in the USA either. So what will happen? Will David get the rest of the money and get away with one of the biggest heists in USA history?? It's up to you to find out..
