The Misfits (2021)
3/10
The Dollar Store version of The Italian Job, but worse
11 June 2021
I have no idea who the intended audience was. I'd suggest that maybe it was for people unfamiliar with coherent stories and have short attention spans, but that would be an insult to people unfamiliar with coherent stories and have short attention spans.

The comedy wasn't funny, and tried too hard. Nick Cannon was atrocious, having neither the charisma of Will Smith nor Key&Peele's ability to work a caricature. Brosnan kept using weird accents for no reason, and was played off like he isn't 15 years too old to be a sex symbol. Sometimes there was supposed to be something resembling drama, but it was like a watered-down melodrama that didn't know what it was supposed to be about. Slapstick vomit humor that stayed long past its welcome.

This has a nonsensical 'plot' that should never have been committed to thought, let alone given screen time. Even the most generic heist movie plot is more solid than this, with much better payoffs. As someone in a previous review said might happen, I DID indeed ask myself often "What even is this?" So much so that as I continued to waste my time, the 'movie' lost a star. Should have only been a 4, maybe 4.5, but it just kept getting worse.

I can't even recommend it as a fun way to hang out with friends and get intoxicated.
