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

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.

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.

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.
