Even a federal maximum-security prison can't hold Richard Pace (Golden Globe nominee PIERCE BROSNAN), a brilliant international thief. But his daring escape and high-octane car chase, eluding the FBI and police, ends with him being scooped up by The Misfits, a band of modern-day Robin Hoods. Led by the eccentric and charismatic Ringo (NICK CANNON) with Violet (JAMIE CHUNG), the Prince (RAMI JABER), and Wick (MIKE ANGELO) with Pace's daughter Hope (HERMIONE CORFIELD)--a mysterious group who do devious things for all the right reasons. The skilled group convinces Pace to join them to pull off the heist of the century: stealing millions in gold bars kept under one of the most secure prisons on earth, owned by rogue businessman Schultz (Tim Roth), and used for funding terrorist groups worldwide. Aside from the money, Pace wants revenge against Schultz, the man behind his incarceration. From LA to Abu Dhabi, it will take supercharged engines, forged identities, multiple cons, camels, nitro and massive explosions to succeed. Directed by RENNY HARLIN (Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Cliffhanger), THE MISFITS brings a new team of outsiders into the world of action-adventure.

Critics Consensus

A grab bag of ingredients lifted from superior action thrillers, The Misfits is uninspired work from a veteran director and cast who should know better.

Audience Says

You've probably seen worse action thrillers than The Misfits -- but you've probably seen ones that were a whole lot better, too.

Waiting for it to finish is like sitting bored on a hard plastic chair and then realising your phone has run out of battery but the charger is packed in a suitcase you already checked in.

Rated: 1/5

David Ehrlich

indieWire

All the bouncy music, implausible costume changes, and conveniently omitted details in the world can't force any fun out of a caper that doesn't consider what the audience knows of the plan or convince them to care about how it might go wrong.

Rated: D-

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's not in his top tier of material, but it's definitely a Renny Harlin film.

Gastroenteritis is, in fact, one of the funnier plot devices in this film.

Next Best Picture

The slick style tries to give the tone a spirited quality, but it is incredibly forced and feels like a pale imitation of better-executed films.

Rated: 3/10

Concrete Playground

Director Renny Harlin seems like he's simply trying to recreate shots, looks and scenes he likes from far better films, but badly.

Timing of events just didn't make sense. Had some ok parts, but would have rather rented it instead of seeing it the first in theater movie after the pandemic.

Look I like dum heist movies as much as the next person, but the heist that is suppose to happen happens the last 20 minutes of the film and without the legendary Pierce Brosnan literally carrying this film......its a waste of your time.

Hodge podge of heist clichés done much better in other movies. If you have never seen oceans 11 then it might be ok.

Una película de atracos ordinaria, entretenida de ver y con algún giro en la historia que sorprende.. Pero tiene un problema fundamental: esta llena, repleta, plagada de chistes tontos e innecesarios a cada rato, tanto que al no resultar divertidos terminan molestando en lugar de dar gracia. Cumple y no mucho mas, para pasar el rato.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

fell asleep. all I can say is it is better than Righteous Thieves. But not by much. Brosnan can't save this thing.

This movie was the biggest waste of time. I signed into this just so I could write this. After we watched the movie we decided to read the reviews which ended up being more entertaining then the movie.
