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

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.

Acho válido pela experiência de aventura e comédia. Apesar de Pierce Brosnan ser a única presença boa e de atuação equilibrada no filme. O restante do elenco exagera na comédia. Alguns eventos não fazem muito sentido, mas outros podem ser considerados legais e divertidos.

This was horrible. I was forcing myself to keep watching when the action starts and it never does. It just edges you and the pacing is horrible. Like some scenes where it’s silent and make no sense last like a minute. Wouldn’t recommend 2/10

The whole movie was a set up for a let down. There was so much build up, but it led to nothing.

Ridiculously cliched plot made worse by poor acting and silly scenes. Pierce Brosnan should retire because this film was embarrassing for his reasonable acting legacy. This movie makes C-grade movies look good. At the beginning I thought it was a spoof but then realized it wasn't funny and was trying to be an action movie. If you're on your deathbed waiting for this film to finish, you'll pull the plug yourself.
