10 Most Wildly Inconsistent Actors In Movie History

4. Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman is the Mark Wahlberg of actresses, in the sense that we all - deep down - know she's a good actress (probably), but she's turned in so many middling, lousy or downright bad performances over the years that it's hard to remember whether or not she's any actually any good. If you took Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill movies out of Thurman's filmography, you'd have to wade through a lot of sludge to find any worthwhile performances. And yet because of those Tarantino roles, we know she can act. It's complicated. So let's look at what we've got: My Super Ex-Girlfriend, The Accidental Husband, Playing For Keeps... these are all near-disastrous movies with near-disastrous performances, courtesy of Thurman. Can she only function as an actress when she's speaking Tarantino's dialogue? Has she given up trying? Your guess is as good as anybody's. There are bad movies with good Thurman performances of course: Ceremony and Bel Ami, to name just a recent two, but it's not enough. As it stands, this gal remains something of an inconsistent mystery.
