They fits

Is this remarkable or special in any way? Probably not (though maybe you feel it is amazing and I am not going to tell you it isn't) - at least not for most. But is it the worst thing that was ever made? Also quite certainly not. We like to talk in extremes - see the newest Matrix movie. Not really as bad as many are making it - is it campy and quite ridiculous? Yes, but so where the other Matrix entries, you may want to rewatch them.

But back to this and the quite good acting assembly it has put together. Some very fine people here on board ... and they do work - not in an amazing you have to watch it, but a decent way. A thriller that is predictable but entertaining nonetheless.

bad heist movie

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.

Misbegotten!

The best movie trailers make their movies look appetizing. Indeed, the trailer for Renny Harlin's lighthearted but lackluster heist caper "The Misfits," with Pierce Brosnan, Tim Roth, and Nick Cannon, makes the efforts of a globe-trotting team of Robin Hood-style thieves out to thwart Muslim terrorists, look better than it is. Sadly, despite its impressive production values, "The Misfits" isn't fit to watch. This mediocre, 94-minute, R-rated outing, lensed on location in the scenic United Arab Emirates, on a hefty $15-million budget, looks as slick and slippery as its heroes. They must break into a Middle Eastern Prison and steal millions in gold bullion from a vault deep inside the prison! Moreover, they must melt down the bullion so they can transfer it inconspicuously as something else. "Law Abiding Citizen" scenarist Kurt Wimmer and "Beyond Valkyrie: Dawn of the 4th Reich" scribe Robert Henny have conjured up this outlandish pastiche of a Tom Cruise "Mission Impossible" escapade with superficial thrills and chills. Cast as a callous villain named Werner Schultz, Tim Roth scrambles desperately throughout "The Misfits" to capture our elusive pickpocket hero, Richard Pace (Pierce Brosnan of "Die Another Day"),because the latter seduced Schultz's sexy wife. Now, Schultz wants Pace put out of his misery and will stop at nothing to accomplish his objective.

"The Misfits" gets off to a breezy start with vignettes of our heroic quartet. Ringo (Nick Cannon of "American Son") idolizes Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr, and Ringo's vignette tops all others. A bank robber with a formula for success, Ringo doesn't storm into a bank, brandishing a pistol, and barking threats. Instead, as a master of disguise, he makes certain nobody can identify him. He targets safe deposit boxes. Only crooks cache priceless items in safety deposit boxes they want to conceal from prying eyes. No sooner has Ringo confined himself in the vault alone than he rifles several safety deposit boxes. Wielding lockpicking tools stored in his own box, Ringo empties a fortune in contraband merchandise into his box. He won't return until the heat has died down. The safety deposit box customers cannot alert the law about their illicit valuables without incriminating themselves! Incidentally, Ringo's vignette carbon copies the classic Warren Beatty crime caper "$" (1971),about a thief who loots the safety deposit boxes of three notorious criminals. Meantime, Wick (Michael Angelo of "Hashima Project") had fiddled with firecrackers since his youth in Asia before he graduated to explosives. His skill enabled him to destroy a factory manufacturing illegal narcotics. Nobody has ever linked Wick to this demolition. Violet (Jamie Chung of "The Hangover Part III") is an acrobatic babe versed in martial arts. In her vignette, she clashes with the dastards who operate an Eastern European sex trafficking ring. Unlike Ringo and Wick's vignettes, Violet isn't shown devastating her adversaries. This means we cannot see what cool feats our heroine has arranged for these vermin. It's a mistake the filmmakers compensate for only in the final quarter-hour. Finally, the Prince (newcomer Rami Jaber) is an affluent nobleman with deep pockets who bankrolls the quartet's adventures. Now, they need the renowned Richard Pace to mastermind their audacious intrigue.

"You want me to go into a Middle Eastern country," clamors an appalled Pace, "filled with terrorists and steal their gold?" Unlike the altruistic Misfits, Pace perpetrates his crimes for profit where only the insurance company pays out, and nobody else suffers. Imagine Pace's surprise when his adult daughter, Hope (Hermione Corfield of "50 Kisses"),emerges as the latest Misfits' recruit and persuades him to join them. Predictably, Pace casts his lot with these kids but insists on orchestrating their efforts.

Veteran Finish film director Renny Harlin, whose credits include "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master" (1988),"Die Hard 2" (1992),"Cliffhanger" (1993),and "Deep Blue Sea" (1999),never lets "The Misfits" bog down in exposition. Nevertheless, no matter how nimble the tempo, Harlin cannot make a silk purse out of this sow's ear. Never does he generate enough white-knuckled suspense because our heroes have got it much too easy. They smuggle themselves into the notorious prison without a hitch and spike the chow, so the inmates empty their insides out everywhere. Without a second thought, our heroes drill into the safe from a bathroom and eventually melt down millions in bullion without a single close call. Pierce Brosnan is as debonair as when he played James Bond, but "The Misfits" doesn't give him any exciting or unusual exploits to distinguish him. Unfortunately, you'll neither break into a sweat nor clench your fists in anxiety during the robbery sequences. The surreal scenery and exotic architecture of the United Arab Emirates adds a touch of spectacle to this lackluster yarn. Altogether, "The Misfits" struggles feverishly to substitute style for substance without success.
