The Misfits

Nick Cannon and his voice ruin this gang-heist movie. Brosnan, the king of the bad guys, can't even save it.

A B-movie with a big budget is the nicest way I can describe this film. Brosnan is pretty good in this, and does his best with a laughably bad script that felt like it was written by an A. I. program. The sets and locations are actually quite nice, and the cinematography isn't bad either. The rest of the movie is a mess; the plot makes no sense, the dialogue is again, how a robot thinks people converse, and Nick Cannon almost ruins every scene he's in. I predict that you will ask yourself no less than 10 times "what am I watching?" during this movie.

If you go into this expecting it to be bad, you may actually enjoy yourself!

There was nothing original in this film and the acting was subpar all around. The narration throughout the film was annoying and it also slowed the story down. The jokes were extremely unfunny and any movie that features a lengthy vomit scene for humour is low grade in my opinion. Hard pass.

Pierce Brosnan is the reason I wanted to watch this. A movie about a gold heist with Pierce Brosnan starring in it, that did ring my bell. BUT unfortunately Pierce Brosnan (the former James Bond) is now lowering himself to B-movie level, with lots of Asian B-movie actors in a B-movie script.

Let's forget that this movie was ever made and let's hope that the excellent actor Pierce Brosnan will grow old with dignity and without further lowering himself to these kind of rubbish B-movies...

A group of vigilante criminals call themselves the Misfits. Ringo (Nick Cannon) steals from bank safe deposit boxes and gives to the poor. Violet (Jamie Chung) rescues human trafficking victims. Explosive expert Wick (Mike Angelo) blows up evil. The Prince (Rami Jaber) is a con artist. The group recruits escape expert Richard Pace (Pierce Brosnan) with his daughter Hope (Hermione Corfield). They have to rob private prison owner Schultz (Tim Roth) who is holding a large gold deposit in a middle east prison for a terrorist group.

This is bad but I'm also a sucker for heist movies. It's trying to be cool by infusing itself with oil-moneyed Abu Dhabi and faux flashy directing. The net effect is a clueless fakeness to everything. It's like taking a dump in a gold plated bathroom. Sure, it may be fun to do it once but if it's actually your bathroom, it says something else about you. The only good news is the suaveness of Pierce Brosnan who almost pulls off the whole affair. On the other hand, there is no way to overcome how tired I've become with Nick Cannon. The caper is rather silly but it uses a real world group as terrorists. It's caught between silly and awkwardly real. It's bad but I'm a sucker. What can I say.
