I’d never heard of Josh Duhamel, which is possibly why this 2016 thriller slipped under my radar.

Free to watch on Amazon prime.

His co stars need no introduction, Hollywood royalty in Pacino and Hopkins, Duhamel is most notable for playing Colonel William Lennox in the Tranformers franchise.

This is a hold on to the edge of your seat courtroom but not courtroom legal thriller, more than a drama not adapted from book although a John Gresham type plot but better, more twists and turns for sure but absolutely trashed slated in fact by the industry.

Here’s my take:

The industry, Hollywood, the promoter, the distributor can kill a movie stone dead before it even gets a mention in broadsheets around the world. Misconduct had a limited release initially and after a couple of unfavourable reviews from big players in the industry, Joe Leydon from Variety for one, no one went to see it.

This movie is fast paced and really brilliant in my opinion. I was in it all the way, it’s a film full of suspense (not scary) but will

definitely have your heart racing.

Very strong triple threat leads in Pacino as legal boss Abrahams, Anthony Hopkins as healthcare billionaire boss Denning and Josh Duhamel as Lawyer Ben Cahill an underling in Abraham’s firm but don’t discount the ladies either.

Incredible performance from Alice Eve as Charlotte (Charlie) Cahill, of all the characters we meet don’t take your eye off this one for a moment. She keeps us all guessing right until the last second closing credits.

You’ll breathe a big sigh once it’s over.
