10 Actors Who Need Saving From Bad Movie Choices

Here's the problem with Matt Damon: every time he makes a hit movie, it's usually followed by an absolute turkey that sets his career back several notches.

He'll always have his classic performances in Good Will Hunting, The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Departed, but his recent hits are sandwiched between the dour Monuments Men, the tedious We Bought A Zoo and the polarising Promised Land.

Damon made The Martian in 2015, and that was great, but he followed it up with one of the worst movies of his career, The Great Wall, which crashed head first into one.

The Boston star's career is a proverbial mixed bag in many ways, and what it desperately needs now is some consistency. The next time he has a hit, his next films must be discerningly selected to ensure that it becomes a string of them.

And while he has Downsizing coming up, he also has Suburbicon, which has already proved polarising in its early critical reviews.
