Misconduct (2016)
When Josh Duhamel gets hired to head the legal team of head honcho Al Pacino when he’s being suing another head honcho Anthony Hopkins, he gets far more than he bargained for. He should have bargained for it, though, since he got the job illegally. Anthony Hopkins’s girlfriend, Malin Akerman, approached her married ex-boyfriend Josh with evidence against him, and Josh took it. Wouldn’t he think there might be consequences?
In this gritty thriller, nothing’s off limits. Blackmail, threats, murder, revenge, and of course, misconduct. If you like these kinds of movies where nothing really surprises you but you still get your weekly dose of sex and violence, you can rent it and see what you think. I felt it was a waste of the big stars’ talents, since by itself, the script screams ‘B-picture’. Malin Akerman is a beautiful woman, but I’d rather see a movie where she’s given some acting to do, instead of just a few scenes where she looks good in her lingerie. Keep an eye out for Alice Eve as Josh’s wife and Julia Stiles as a police detective.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to language, nudity, and sexual content, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. In the church, about 15 minutes before the end, the camera spins completely upside down, and that will make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
