12 Talented Actors Who Just Made 3 Bad Movies In A Row

The Forgiven Eric Bana

Eric Bana has made a career out of making unexpected moves with movies. He seems to revel in defying expectations and that has occasionally led to him matching his best, most explosive work in the likes of Chopper and Star Trek.

However, he's also struggling at the minute for form, with The Finest Hours probably ranking as his last good movie (and even then that's a little bit of a stretch - it's fine, but it's hardly brilliant). Before that you have to go back to Lone Survivor and in between both have been some more problematic releases.

Bana's last three have been pretty worrying too, kicking off with the now notorious King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, which was followed up by the well-meaning but lacking The Secret Scripture and more recently The Forgiven, which was provocative, tastless and misguided.
