This movie concept is a refreshing breeze in from about 20 years ago. Seeing these old masters so seasoned, and newer faces in roles which were once cliché feels like a good homage to "ye olde" 90s thrillers with the legal backdrop. Josh Duhamel was great in the old Harrison Ford role, but for his Tom Cruise running scene he needed two cuts. Tom would never have stood for that. The acting and editing was nuanced and stimulating. It felt like everyone knew they were in a movie with Anthony Hopkins. Nobody phoned it in, not even Pacino. You could feel that all the players really bought into the project. It was a pleasure to watch. Pour the wine, kick off your shoes, enjoy.

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.

Putlocker showed the rating for Misconduct as 9.8 out of 10. I guess it was someone's idea of a cruel joke. From almost the first five minutes of this film I started hearing this little voice in the back of my mind: "9.8? 9.8?? No seriously----9.8?!?," the little voice said over and over. At about minute 20 the voice said, "Oh, c'mon. Gimme a break. NO ONE thought THIS movie was 9.8."That'll teach me not to go on IMDb first and maybe, as is my usual routine, lightly scan user reviews---the reviews with no spoilers--- before deciding if I should watch this or not. I can't remember the last time I saw so many scathing reviews on IMDb.This movie misses the mark in so many ways, I feel I could write a three-page essay on just HOW MANY ways.PLEASE, if you like Josh Duhamel at all or Malin Ackerman or Pacino . . .PLEASE don't watch this movie. You will lose so much respect for them. I can't even blame the director on this one, because I know these actors are better than this. They had to have all got together, read the script and said, "Welp. Let's just get through this. We've all got bills to pay, right?"All in all, this movie was SLOW (like George the Galapagos tortoise slow or maybe even a 3-toed sloth slow-----whichever one is slower. I guess that'd be George now, since he's dead.)Alice Eve had me groaning out loud, her performance was SO BAD. What's the one word that means exponentially bad?---that word. That's the word that describes her in this film.And Pacino? When did he get so doddery and OLD? It was painful to watch him in this. I kept thinking he was talking to Keanu Reeves again (Devil's Advocate), except that here he was being all sullen and stony, with no sass at all. And they had him quoting Shakespeare, for Pete's sake. Was that quote from The Merchant of Venice? An inside joke? I don't wanna know. His Louisiana accent was all over the place. How come no one else had an accent? Too lazy to even try? They could have tried. The movie couldn't have been anymore painful.One saving grace: I got to see Byung-hun Lee and that bad-ass motorcycle. I'm adding two stars for that.Now for the big reveal: The only reason I am writing this review is because I want someone to PLEASE explain to me why "Charlotte" (Ben Cahill's wife) had a perfumey piece of clothing stuffed into a pillowcase. Am I supposed to know this is because she was pushing Ben into discovering her great crime? Why was he packing pillows away anyway? Don't men handle their own junk and let the women do the bedclothes and living room pillows and other fluffy stuff? What are the chances he'd find that one pillow and decide it contained something lumpy? Why was the piece of clothing all perfumey anyway? Is it because Charlotte hugged Emily after she killed her?I don't get it. And why is Ben, the good guy, going to overlook what she did? The whole ending was in keeping with the rest of the movie, I suppose. Mismanaged, misconducted. Whatever.

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.
