12 Actors Who Did Career Worst Work In 2017

8. Nicolas Cage (Inconceivable)

Nicolas Cage has been imprisoned within the straight-to-VOD dungeon for quite some time now, but he may well have hit rock-bottom with this preposterous, Lifetime-esque thriller about a couple (Cage and Gina Gershon) trying for a baby, who find out that their surrogate mother (Nicky Whelan) is a boatload of crazy.

Even ignoring how ridiculously tasteless it is to name a movie "Inconceivable" when one of the main characters can't have children, this is a depressingly low-effort venture for Cage, who doesn't freak out in a single scene (as his fans expect), and is just phoning his work in from start to finish.

He's also absent from huge chunks of the film and clearly just showed up for the bare minimum amount of time to be able to cash his paycheck. Cage has elevated many otherwise terrible films with his entertainingly eccentric performances, but here it really seems like he doesn't care at all.
