The movie tells the story of an ambitious lawyer as he finds himself caught in a power struggle between a corrupt pharmaceutical executive and his firm's senior partner. When he decides to take on a case against the pharmaceutical executive, he becomes a murder suspect...
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.
Some handsome location shooting in New Orleans doesn't make up for the Oscar winners' relentless hamming and a plot that twists way beyond credibility.
The plot is gossamer thin, the twist would take a two-year-old about as many seconds to see coming and it's a miracle there is any scenery left by the time Pacino and Hopkins were done.
