10 Actors Who Haven't Made A Good Movie In YEARS

7. John Travolta

John Travolta's career has been quite the rollercoaster ride indeed, for though his Oscar-nominated performance in Pulp Fiction (92%) gave him a major resurgence throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, at the turn of the millennium his career hit the skids once again.

Since 1999, Travolta has appeared in 30 major movies, only three of which have received good reviews, and over the last 15 years, he's appeared in just one good film - 2016's Western In a Valley of Violence.

Around a decade ago, Travolta began starring in a bevy of increasingly unambitious direct-to-video action-thrillers, as so many of his ageing action stars also have, with five separate movies all receiving a disastrous 0% on the Tomatometer - Life on the Line, Gotti, Speed Kills, Trading Paint, and The Poison Rose.

It's a shame as Travolta certainly doesn't seem tired or over-the-hill - he's simply been taking easy paydays for a long enough time to devalue his own brand in the process.

It'd be great to see him show up in Tarantino's allegedly final upcoming movie and get a third wind as he enters his 70s.
