20. Jai Courtney As Jack McClane - A Good Day To Die Hard

Australian actor Jai Courtney has become quite the critical punching bag in recent times and this is where it all began.

A Good Day to Die Hard was an irredeemable film that killed a beloved franchise (that had never delivered a bad film before) and Courtney was one of its biggest issues. He plays the son of John McClane, one of the all-time best action movie heroes, and it's unbelievable that such a great and lovable character could've produced such a boring and unsympathetic kid.

With his relentlessly wooden and downright unlikable performance, Jai Courtney dragged the entire film down and made it even more unpleasant to watch. As bad as the writing was, Bruce Willis did perfectly solid work in this movie and it stands to reason that Courtney should've been able to as well, but no. Compared to the numerous great performances across the other films, Courtney's performance here was an undeniable dud.

Judging by his equally terrible performances in both I, Frankenstein and Terminator: Genesys, he doesn't seem to be improving either.
