12 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)

By Jack Pooley / June 26, 2018

9. Scott Eastwood (Pacific Rim: Uprising)

Universal

Scott Eastwood plays surly pilot trainer Nate Lambert in this movie for basically one reason: he's the handsome-as-hell offspring of Clint Eastwood.

Otherwise, Eastwood Jr. gives a totally flat performance void of even the faintest hint of charisma. He's pleasant to look at, sure, but his banter with the decidedly more charming Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) feels awkwardly forced, alongside a love triangle involving the pair and colleague Jules (Adria Arjona).

Uprising as a whole is a total mess, and Eastwood seems to have been cast solely to make the movie more appealing to teenage girls. Given the movie's paltry box office take, though, it seemed to backfire spectacularly.
