Why 2021’s The Misfits Is So Controversial

2021’s The Misfits was Finnish director Renny Harlin’s twenty-second feature-length film, boasting a diverse cast of actors led by Pierce Brosnan, but the movie spawned a lot of controversy upon release. The action heist film centered around a group of modern-day Robin Hood-esque thieves known as the Misfits and their plans to steal gold from underneath a maximum security prison on behalf of a renowned terrorist group. Despite the groups’ expertise, their most recent job meant they needed the help of Richard Pace (Brosnan), an expert thief who could outsmart and maneuver the prison’s airtight security measures.
