Barely watchable
DeadMansTrousers16 June 2021
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.

I've watched some ridiculous movies but this movie is the first I couldn't finish
A-Shekhar18 June 2021
It's sooo bad, unlike others, I'm actually going to encourage you to watch this movie so that you can know what torture feels like.

The Dollar Store version of The Italian Job, but worse
ravencorinncarluk11 June 2021
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.

The worst Ocean's Eleven clone I've ever watched
bobzzy18 June 2021
I'll be short.

This is the worst Ocean's Eleven clone ever. While I was waiting for something to happen - it ended. And Pierce Brosnan and Tim Roth are far better actors than this.

So don't waste your time on that movie.

Period.

bad heist movie
SnoopyStyle30 June 2021
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.

The real Misfits are the writers and the director
Felixhug11 June 2021
What a lot down. Great locations, decent production and wonderful cast.

However this has been some of the most idiotic directing and use of dialogs i have seen.. probably ever.

You cant give it a 1 because the cast is just too great.

Here is what i do not understand not just with this movie but others which gave bad writing or unploshed scripts. You spend 50 million or more on a movie and you cant invest in a flawless script and good writing? This movie is so close to being a great and yet such a colossal miss.

Neither Brosnan nor the pitifully obvious shill reviews can save this
random-7077814 June 2021
Oh my, this was awful in every way. Most of the actors have zero talent and the couple that do obviously sleep walked through this. The is just a rip off of generic heist film and the dialogue is cringeworthy.

All the reviews 8 and up are FAKE single use accounts.

Avoid.

Horrible!
Go_For_The_Jugular10 June 2021
Shouldn't even be classed as a movie.

Decent enough cast, but that's about it.

Wouldn't even recommend to my worst enemy!

Incoherent mess
Gordon-1120 June 2021
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.

I hope that Pierce Brosnan's career isnt going down the drain, like so many other older action stars before him...
imseeg2 October 2021
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...

Who invest money in these movies?!
ataranis-1294227 June 2021
This movie is awful, couldn't watch it for 15 minutes.

I feel sorry for Pierce Brosnan for acting in this piece of garbage.

Yikes
Mission_Hill11 June 2021
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!

This movie was terrible!!!
Brooklynsmagicmike18 August 2021
I saw the horrendous reviews before watching this film and thought to myself, it can't be that bad let me see if I can prove the critics wrong. Unfortunately they were 100% correct. This movie was massive dumpster fire.

Incredibly slow and boring. The acting was cheesy and dialouge was even worse. Brosnan who I'm usually a massive fan of only showed up for the paycheck and Roth wasn't to far behind. Nick Cannon also should have any future acting role revoked hes one of the worst of all time.

The only redeeming traits this movie had was the visuals which I found to be for a B-movie amazing. Outside that this movie isn't worth a lick. Avoid at all costs!

Not a single good thing about it
dphjt18 June 2021
Boring story.

Bad acting.

Low budget stunts, and filming.

How can this cast (Brosnan, Roth, ...) let this happen?

Agree, this is bad.
gtroup12 June 2021
Tries to be cool and funny and just isn't. Starts with a lengthy voice over trying to setup the plot but is annoying. Brosnan's character takes half the movie to decide if he will even participate in the caper. And the caper is so quick and easy and the guys guarding the gold are pretty stupid. Don't recommend this at all.

The guy who rated this a 10 has got to be related to someone involved in the production.

Nick Cannon...Enough said don't waste your time
Kri33 August 2021
I wanted to like it because I am an action movie fan and like Pierce but this was painful. Nick needs to stick to hosting game shows that he doesn't need to act in.

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

Sterile Badanage
atlasmb31 October 2021
An annoying voiceover is the worst feature of this film about an assemblage of criminals who see themselves as Robin Hood-esque characters. Each of them has a specific talent, but they lack a master criminal to act as the glue to their motley crew.

They try to recruit Richard Pace (Pierce Brosnan), who is a global thief with panache, but he prefers to remain a lone wolf.

Eventually, the story is about a heist. As heists go, this one feels loosely constructed. But it takes the story to Abu Dhabi, which is the best thing about the film. Striking scenery and sets provide a stunning backdrop, suitable for a Bond film.

Because all the characters are aloof and terminally cool, the cast is not asked to emote much.

Total trash, garbage
jkt200630 June 2021
The story doesn't know what it's doing, neither does the director or the script. The only good thing about the movie is Pierce Brosnan who unfortunately is riding on such a bad ship as this movie that even he can't save it! Total waste of time, sheer trash!!

Total cheese, but not necessarily the stinky type.
Top_Dawg_Critic22 June 2021
It's nothing new, been done many times before, and much better, but I have to say, as cheesy as it was, I still enjoyed it. For the most part, it's because of the cast.

The casting was great all around, and the set locations amazing, but where this film failed is in the writing/screenplay. The plot was convoluted and had many holes in it. The attempt at humor - specifically the dialogue, was terrible. It was trying too hard.

The directing wasn't the greatest, but the cinematography helped overlook many off the flaws. The score was actually fitting, but like most typical B films, it was loud and overbearing.

The 94 min runtime flew by with the decent pacing. I kinda wanted more fun minutes added. It seems this was a big budget B film, and it's a shame the experienced writers and director didn't put in a better effort to make this film much better. It's a very generous 6/10 from me, most of it going to the cast.

Yes, it's as bad as he reviews say it is
vbacon-111-57832926 June 2021
Poor Pierce Brosnan. He could have just gone out as one of the James Bonds' of the world. Instead, he has this movie associated with his name. Giving it a 2 because Pierce did give a good performance considering he had such a lousy script to work with.

The whole thing was just so unrealistic. The prison staff was more inept than that of Hogan's Heroes. There is just no way their schemes would have worked. I still don't understand how Tim Roth's character fit into the whole thing.

Without trying to give anything away, let me just say there's not much to give away. The plot is entirely predictable with nothing to grab your attention. The big surprise at the end is about as stupid as it gets.

I like good crime movies which led me to go for this one. I should have checked IMDB before starting it.

Trashfire & Waste
nixflixnpix12 June 2021
Waste of money. Waste of time. This is the film Pierce finally shaved for? So his character can date a girl less than half his age?

Too much slo-mo, CGI, and thinking "diversity" replaces actual-character.

Boring. Dumb. Slow. Poor writing.

Writing so bad it makes the usually-better actors' acting bad. One cent would be a rip-off. If it was free, I'd still want a refund.

Makes Battefield Earth look like The Seven Samurai
ianslezra31 August 2021
If you're thinking to yourself "hmmm, I actually liked "Troll 2", and "Manos, the hands of fate" then have we got a movie for you! I'm not sure which one, but not "The Misfits", it's unwatchable. I hope it was worth it, Pierce. You cant sell a Casio now.
