10 Actors That Went From Their Best Movie To Their Worst

10. Lupita Nyong'o - 12 Years A Slave To Non-Stop

As a fairly fresh-faced newcomer to the world of acting, Kenyan-Mexican actor Lupita Nyong'o has made a pretty impressive name for herself in the industry in a remarkably short amount of time, appearing in big-budget blockbuster franchises Star Wars and Marvel's cinematic universe.

While she blew audiences away with her latest performance in Jordan Peele's cerebral horror Us, it was her debut film appearance in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave as Patsey that put her in the limelight, marking her as an incredible talent and rewarding her with an Oscar for her efforts. Her performance was raw, emotional, and heartbreaking and will be an impressive feat to top for any actor.

Unfortunately, though, lightening didn't strike twice for Nyong'o in her second film where she played a flight attendant named Gwen in underwhelming Liam Neeson-fronted action flick Non-Stop.

While by no means the worst film ever made, this claustrophobic thriller followed Neeson hunting down a killer on an international flight ultimately boiled down to a somewhat entertaining but over-complicated and over-long mess.

While Nyong'o isn't necessarily awful in the film, it's still a far cry from 12 Years A Slave and anything she's done afterwords.
