The Misfits

I have no idea who the intended audience was. I'd suggest that maybe it was for people unfamiliar with coherent stories and have short attention spans, but that would be an insult to people unfamiliar with coherent stories and have short attention spans.

The comedy wasn't funny, and tried too hard. Nick Cannon was atrocious, having neither the charisma of Will Smith nor Key&Peele's ability to work a caricature. Brosnan kept using weird accents for no reason, and was played off like he isn't 15 years too old to be a sex symbol. Sometimes there was supposed to be something resembling drama, but it was like a watered-down melodrama that didn't know what it was supposed to be about. Slapstick vomit humor that stayed long past its welcome.

This has a nonsensical 'plot' that should never have been committed to thought, let alone given screen time. Even the most generic heist movie plot is more solid than this, with much better payoffs. As someone in a previous review said might happen, I DID indeed ask myself often "What even is this?" So much so that as I continued to waste my time, the 'movie' lost a star. Should have only been a 4, maybe 4.5, but it just kept getting worse.

I can't even recommend it as a fun way to hang out with friends and get intoxicated.

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.

This film is an incoherent mess. There are so many scenes that has no connection with the rest of the film, such as the short scene where Jamie Chung ties up a man in the bathroom. There film tries to be an action comedy, but is successful at being neither.

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 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!
