Misconduct (2016)

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Two stars for Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino being cast but aside from that this was a big steaming pile of poo!! Sorry but even AH and AP couldn't save this.....baaaaaaaad!! Avoid at all costs

This movie is really stupid. The cast is too good to be in a movie that has a script like this. The script also rubs off on the acting which is below par. Plot has a lot of holes in it and trying to make it mystery is a very stupid thing. My advice is not to waste your time on a movie as bad as this. Don't look at the cast, they can't make script better.

This year I had misfortune to watch some really bad movies. Recent one is Geostorm - but I did not expect much from that. Here, you see 2 famous veterans among actors, some called them 2 greatest and like. And this movie is just one big mess, misfire in all levels, aspects. Everything is bad - direction, story, storytelling, editing, and yes, acting in most cases. Should we blame Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins for bad acting, or rather director and poor script ? Actually, who invested money in this disaster of movie ? As I see, they wanted to make some noir, with twists, something what will keep viewers on edge. Huh, I almost felt asleep at about 1h. There were many scenes witch simply did not make sense, were overdone, too long - like some of motorcycle attacks. Maybe worst was scene where Pacino and Hopkins were together (only one in this mismovie) - maybe it had some sense, but was presented so poorly, and no logic at all. For the end need to mention Alice Eve - did she was on something during filming ? How she passed casting for this movie - was criteria to look doped in all scenes ? Sorry to say such things, but it was some worst acting I ever seen. Rating: 2 - just because some pictures on exhibition were good :-)

Well,what can I say.What appealed me to Misconduct is that it will be the first film that I would be seeing Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins together in the same movie.Josh Duhamel stars in it with Pacino and Hopkins taking supporting roles.It tells a story of a lawyer who is caught up in a struggle between a corrupt pharmaceutical executive,Arthur Denning and his firm's partner,Charles Abrams.Alice Eve,Malin Åkerman,South Korean star Byung-hun Lee,Julia Stiles and Glen Powell completes the cast.The movie may be considered dated and dull.The case presented in the plot are familiar themes of movies of the same nature that were shown back in the 90's.It was only nice to see Pacino and Hopkins together although there is nothing extra-ordinary about their performances as they are simply on their familiar routine as far as they are concerned as compared to other movies I have seen them before.If you want to see them together,then Misconduct is the movie for you.
