12 Terrible 2017 Movies "Snubbed" By The Razzies

Oh, Halle Berry. Berry is no stranger to the Razzies, of course, famously collecting her Worst Actress statue for Catwoman in person back in 2005, and though Kidnap isn't quite as horrendous as that superhero flop, it ain't much better either.

Kidnap is basically "Taken...but with a woman", a movie in which Berry's protagonist desperately tries to track down her kidnapped son, but due to atrocious direction, awful editing, a wack script and one of Berry's worst performances, the end result is an unintentional chuckle-fest.

It's almost never a good sign when a movie takes almost three years to hit cinemas, and in the case of Kidnap, it was probably best for all involved if it never saw the light of day.

What It Should've Been Nominated For: Worst Picture, Worst Director (Luis Prieto), Worst Actress (Halle Berry), Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel (for being a transparent Taken knock-off) and Worst Screenplay.
