Michael Ledo Arthur Denning (Anthony Hopkins) is the CEO of Pierson Pharmacy which is responsible for the deaths of individuals during clinical drug trial testing, in which they had tampered with results to get the drug approved for testing. Emily Hynes (Malin Akerman) is the young sexy girlfriend and employee of Dr. Denning who is urging him to leave the country. Our protagonist, Ben Cahill (Josh Duhamel) ia a lawyer who works for Charles Abrams (Al Pacino). He wins cases, but has an inside man who can hack files, i.e. doing the wrong thing for the right reason as he justifies it. His wife Charlotte (Alice Eve) is a nurse. Later we find out they lost a child due to a miscarriage. The film opens with Emily going missing, then jumping to one week earlier when Emily contacts her former boyfriend Ben Cahill with Arthur's personal files.Yes it starts out with a twist, but that is hardly a plot spoiler. There are numerous twists as this thing goes on, twists that don't make sense or have decent clues, but exist for the simple reason as if to say, see how clever we are? I felt the film would have been better if they had left off the last twist or two. Josh Duhamel was deadpan in his role and our two headliners were rather boring, although it was clear Hopkins was trying to play an evil heartless man not named Hannibal. There was enough misconduct to go around with the miscast of Josh Duhamel being the worse.Bourne girl Julia Stiles did good as a security agent, but she had a minor role.Guide: F-bomb. No sex (sorry about the plot spoiler). No nudity.
pkpera 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 :-)
jackthehack I like refrigerator movies. Hitchcock called the serviceable thrillers that because while they were very entertaining to watch, after you go home and are going through the refrigerator, you start to pick apart the plot. In case of Misconduct, you might as well carry a portable refrigerator because you start picking the plot apart while watching it!Some good direction and clever plotting can help cover a deeply flawed movie to an extent. This movie however is extremely tone deaf. There is no sense of directorial style. There is an insulting use of non- linear chronology which serves no purpose other than to hide the fact that the plot is paper thin. It goes without saying that Al Pacino and Sir Anthony Hopkins are legends. They can make Troll 3 at this point and their legacy won't be hurt. Well maybe a little bit, but they are still legends. But this movie wastes their talents especially Hopkins who seems like he is waiting to cash in his check. Pacino gets a scene to go bombastic but you just don't care and just feel sad for the guy. Josh Duhamel tries but the ridiculous script defeats him. The standout is Alice Eve who gives the worst performance I have ever seen in a big budget movie. There is emotionally distant and there is whatever the hell Eve was going for. I was in a flight and looking for a quick movie to kill the time but this movie despite a promising start, completely goes off the rails and ends up being a waste. There is a scene about 70% into the movie where Hopkins and Pacino are on-screen, for the first time EVER...and you just don't give a damn! That is all you need to know about this junk.
adonis98-743-186503 When an ambitious young lawyer takes on a big case against a powerful and ruthless executive of a large pharmaceutical company, he soon finds himself involved in a case of blackmail and corruption. Misconduct is not as bad as you might think but it's pretty terrible and mediocre with an acting that is simply over the whole place and with 2 giants of cinema playing 2 small roles when you hear the name Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins you should except a masterpiece unfortunately this is a film about some crazy chick that put everyone's lives on risk and with dialogue that shows how dumb the film really is at least is better than Righteous Kill tho as for Byung-hun Lee his role is bigger than last year's Terminator Genisys and if you loved that film or not his acting skills were pretty great in that film in here he coughs blood and has cancer a Hit-man that has cancer? who thought of that honestly? Every time that Hopkins and Pacino are on screen the film gets a little bit good the rest of it? Not so much i would also like to spoil something from the films first of all the whole movie is edited in a weird way, Al Pacino takes the gun from a police officer and kills himself and Malin Akerman is having a relationship with Anthony Hopkins and in the end as it turns out Alice Eve was the person that killed her i will give it a 6 out of 10 because it was pretty mediocre.
