Theodore Rex Price
Lionsgate Films

Cost: $11m

A terrible heist movie starring the Rock as a detective on the trail of a gold-hearted anti-hero? No, not Fast & Furious 8: this is the by the numbers drama that cost a ridiculous amount and was buried on home release, making just $3m back.

Is It Any Good?

Nope. Ironically, the based-on-a-true-story caper ends with the admission that $11m was still missing having been stolen: which is probably exactly how the producers now feel.
