Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 06/05/2016
1/5
It's so hilariously inept that it's almost worth watching. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/02/2016
1/5
It's with strange awe that you realise, halfway through the legal thriller Misconduct, that it may actually be the worst film either Anthony Hopkins or Al Pacino have ever starred in. Go to Full Review
Benjamin Lee Guardian 06/02/2016
2/5
It shamelessly cribs from 90s potboilers (a last-minute twist is stolen from a notable film of the decade) and Pacino is hammier than a hog roast, but it's too lurid to be dull. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 04/22/2022
1/4
This kind of yarn would have inspired a major audience draw a couple decades ago, but now the whole thing feels tired and derivative. Go to Full Review

An astonishingly atrocious piece of work... Go to Full Review
Matt Glasby Total Film 01/02/2017
2/5
The result is pacy, patchy and, at the last, plain old slapdash: if anyone can work out what the eventual villain did -- or why -- please let us know. Go to Full Review

Madam D @Madam1948 Mar 14 Film was too long, too complicated, & just not interesting. Frankly, I watched to see what in the world the plot actually was about. Although it's always good to see Hopkins, his age seems to have taken the energy from his performance. See more Sara B @Sarablak Feb 4 Woof. You’re gonna come across a few parts that are so funny you’ll have to rewind to make sure you didn’t imagine it, but you’ll soon discover that it really is as bad as you thought. See more Greg H @RT24493613 Sep 18 The worst movie I've seen in years. Beyond terrible script and situational dialogue. Completely incoherent and disjointed plot. Move on. See more Eric F @ErictheRed1952 Sep 2 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. See more Chuck M @RT75641311 Aug 25 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! See more Lisa M @RT06763001 Jul 8 Awful. Just awful. Hopkins and Pacino could not save this mess.
