The Misfits

Surely Pierce Brosnan hasn't run through his "Mamma Mia" money already? Otherwise, what on Earth is he doing in this shameless rip-off of just about every heist movie you will ever have seen. It turns out that there is an huge cache of gold being kept secure in the middle of an high security prison in Abu Dhabi. Our man Pierce ("Richard") is recruited by a group of crooks, and by his daughter "Hope" (Hermione Corfield) to help them mastermind a robbery to relieve the unscrupulous crime kingpin whose bullion it is, of his property. They set about their plan with gusto certainly, but with little jeopardy and as the man himself says at some point "I think I need my head examined"! Not an original thought to it; an amalgam of international stars to maximise any potential it may have from elsewhere in the world and it even manages to bring in the kid from legendary musical duo "Golf & Mike" - an handsome enough Thai lad with the highly improbable name of Mike Angelo! The dialogue and acting are really nothing at all to write home about and though the ending is actually quite quirky, and Tim Roth tries his best as the man charged with thwarting their antics; this is just weak from start to finish - augmented with some glamorous locations, private jets, and - well, bling!
