20 Recent Movies EVERYONE Knew Would Suck

8. Desert Warrior

Now to be completely fair, most people hadn't even heard of Desert Warrior until all the reports emerged about its disastrous opening weekend at the box office - one of the worst domestic openings ever, in fact.

But for those who were aware of this Saudi-backed, Anthony Mackie-starring historical action film, it was clear as day that it was being sent out to die.

For one, the film spent more than four years in post-production purgatory, and in a particularly damning sign it still hadn't secured a buyer more than two years after principal photography wrapped.

On top of that, director Rupert Wyatt briefly quit the film during the editing phase amid the ever-vague "creative differences," though did later return to complete it.

As such, few were shocked when Desert Warrior was panned for being a basically generic, forgettable $150 million tentpole - the biggest and most expensive ever produced in Saudi Arabia, even.
