10 Actors Who Need Saving From Bad Movie Choices

Nicolas Cage's CV pre-2003 speaks for itself, listing the Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas and and the Academy Award-nominated Adaptation among its highlights.

The actor's career since then as been more a story of Razzies than accolades, and part of the problem is how prolific Cage has been of late. In 2017 alone, he's appeared in no fewer than eight movies, some of which are still in production.

That's pretty representative of how active he's been in recent years, and when you're making so many films, the occasional Bangkok Dangerous, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and National Treasure: Book of Secrets is inevitable.

Cage's obvious talent shone through in Moonstruck, Bringing Out the Dead and the aforementioned Adaptation, while more recent hits such as The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Kick-Ass and The Croods are proof the actor is still capable of turning in a performance on occasion (even if it is only voice work).

Although it's clearly a challenge, Cage would do well to resist a paycheck every now and again in an attempt to strike a better quality-quantity balance in his recent output.
