10 Awful 2015 Movies That Deserved To Bomb At The Box Office

2. Blackhat

Budget: $70 million Box Office: $19.6 million (28%) Micheal Mann serves up his third disappointment in a row, both critically and commercially, with this bloated, overblown tech thriller which feels like it hit cinemas at least a decade too late and is quite possibly his worst film ever. Brutally overlong and shockingly dull, Blackhat never once manages to invest the viewer in the tiresome follow-the-breadcrumbs detective narrative, Hemsworth isn't at all convincing in the lead role, co-star Tang Wei brutally mangles the English language as she appears to read her dialogue off cue-cards, loads of dialogue has clearly been dubbed (badly) in post-production, and Mann's signature digital shooting style looks really, really rough here. A total waste of money, time and the little effort that actually went into it, Blackhat is agonisingly tedious and, at its worst, unintentionally hilarious.
