Reviews for Masterminds
One of the silliest hostage thrillers you're ever likely to see Patrick Stewart vamp his way through.
The title could not be a more ironic--the people behind this film don't have a single mind between them, let alone one to master.
, Ozzie eases into being a hero by doing what he does best naturally.
Nothing more than an uneasy and familiar mix of loud music, explosions and forced one-liners, all leading to a been-there-done-that family reconciliation.
