Greg H The worst movie I've seen in years. Beyond terrible script and situational dialogue. Completely incoherent and disjointed plot. Move on. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Eric F If you read this first, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. Disregard the great actors. The bad: The sound track was horrible. An idiot with a Casio could do a better track. The script might have been better written by a really bright JHS student. The camera work was worse than any film school student could do. It was less than run through, rough cut quality. The editor probably saw how bad all this was and decided to screw it or sadlier this was the best they could do. The plot was horribly derivative and badly executed. The wife was a zombie, pod person throughout. The good: None. Not one bloody thing. So why did I watch it? Why did i not follow my 15 minute rule and exit? First, it was hope. I really felt we could the plane out of its death dive. I wanted these great actors to find any pulse on this corpse of a movie. And frankly we had a good buzz on and it became fun to rip on it while it was running. Our social political climate is so depressing lately we needed to laugh at something. Watch ANYTHING else. One half star. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Chuck M I don't understand why people are so hard on this film. It was fantastic. I think others just like to criticize everything because they are boring themselves! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Lisa M Awful. Just awful. Hopkins and Pacino could not save this mess. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Claudio C Misconduct (2016) Who Killed Emily Hynes? (11,703 –19 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The ambitious lawyer Ben Cahill (Josh Duhamel) is married to the nurse Charlotte “Charlie” Cahill (Alice Eve) and they live in New Jersey. Both are workaholics and do not have much time to spend with each other. When his former girlfriend Emily Hynes (Malin Akerman) contacts him through the Internet, they meet each other in a bar. Ben learns that she is presently the girlfriend of the owner of Pierson Pharmaceutics, billionaire Arthur Denning (Anthony Hopkins), and she stole information from his laptop. Denning is facing accusations of killing several people in the experiments of his company, and Ben sees the chance to a lawsuit with the information, When Emily is abducted, Denning receives photos of her bruised face and the request of a 2.5 million-dollar-ransom. His head security Jane Clemente (Julia Stiles) and Joe Bilson (Marcus Lyle Brown) are assigned to investigate the abduction. Meanwhile Ben convinces his boss Charles Abrams (Al Pacino) to move a lawsuit against Denning using the illegal information he copied from his laptop. But soon he finds Emily dead at home in her apartment. Then her next-door neighbor Amy (Leah McKendrick) is interned almost dead after being beaten on the streets. Ben believes Rose and him are in danger. But who is the killer? “Misconduct” (2016) is a complex neo-noir thriller with a screenplay that misleads the viewer. Most of the characters are no good. Ben Cahill is an ambitious and unethical lawyer capable of using illegal methods to win the cases. His wife Charlie almost kills Amy to protect her husband and is the femme fatale in the end. Arthur Denning is a rotten tycoon as well as Charles Abrams. The cast is excellent, with Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Alice Eve, Malin Akerman, Julia Stiles and Josh Duhamel, among others. Unfortunately, this film received bad reviews from the “professional critics”, and certainly influenced the opinion of several viewers. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “Má Conduta” (“Misconduct”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Mark S Just no. Could have been decent but the movies all over the place. Add to that the worst acting I've seen in decades from Alice Eve ... Seems like she was stoned the whole movie.
