15 Most Critically Hated Films From 2015

14. The Forger

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 8% (4.2/10) Why Critics Hated It: Here's a movie that just doesn't know what it wants to be: it aspires to be a slick art heist, a family drama and a cancer-driven tear-jerker all at the same time, and unsurprisingly succeeds at being none. John Travolta gives a somnambulant performance in the lead role, though some light relief does emerge whenever the camera focuses on his blatantly fake hair. Great actors like Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Ehle and Tye Sheridan are meanwhile pretty much hung out to dry here without a scrap of good material to work from. It never feels especially authentic or like anyone involved is trying much, and so aside from Travolta's hilarious hairdo, you won't remember much of it a week later.
