10 Actors Who Just Gave Their Worst Ever Movie Performances
8. Mickey Rourke - Warhunt
Though it seemed like Mickey Rourke's flagging career was revived by his Oscar-nominated turn in 2008's The Wrestler, after his appearance in Iron Man 2 he quickly slid back into near-obscurity, appearing in a glut of forgettable genre films, most of them sent direct to video or, nowadays, streaming.
Rourke's latest such offering is Warhunt, a supernatural horror film set in World War II, with Rourke doing what many ageing action stars do these days: showing up for a few minutes every now and then so that his face can be legally plastered on the movie's cover art.
Rourke plays the eyepatch-wearing allied soldier Major Johnson in what's surely the laziest, most shamelessly paycheck-grabbing role of his career.
The film is bad any way you slice it, but Rourke's performance feels like the director used the very first take every single time - suggesting the possibility that this might've been the only option.
Had Rourke camped it up a little he could've been fun, but instead it's painfully obvious he just wants to get paid for the bare minimum amount of effort possible.
