10 Actors Who Just Gave Their Worst Performance EVER

9. Shailene Woodley - Ferrari

Michael Mann's Ferrari is a Very OK sports drama topped by two electric performances from Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz in the roles of Enzo Ferrari and his wife Laura, but the third wheel in this relationship also happens to be the weak link.

Shailene Woodley plays Enzo's mistress Lina Lardi throughout the film, and like her two co-stars, she naturally dons an Italian accent for the part.

Woodley's certainly trying here, bless her, but the accent doesn't hold muster whatsoever - her natural American twang frequently seeps through and even when it doesn't, it doesn't actually sound like we're listening to an Italian woman speaking at all.

Woodley is a terrifically talented actress who even managed to give a persuasive performance throughout the increasingly dire Divergent franchise, and yet she spends basically this whole movie fighting to convince the audience she's Italian - a fight she categorically loses.

It's tough to focus on the serious dramatics of her scenes when her accent slides all over the place from word to word.
