The Misfits

An annoying voiceover is the worst feature of this film about an assemblage of criminals who see themselves as Robin Hood-esque characters. Each of them has a specific talent, but they lack a master criminal to act as the glue to their motley crew.

They try to recruit Richard Pace (Pierce Brosnan), who is a global thief with panache, but he prefers to remain a lone wolf.

Eventually, the story is about a heist. As heists go, this one feels loosely constructed. But it takes the story to Abu Dhabi, which is the best thing about the film. Striking scenery and sets provide a stunning backdrop, suitable for a Bond film.

Because all the characters are aloof and terminally cool, the cast is not asked to emote much.
