12 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)

3. James Franco (Future World)

If you haven't heard of Future World, don't feel bad. The James Franco-directed post-apocalyptic straight-to-VOD Mad Max ripoff is everything you'd expect from that designation, topped by a risible performance from Franco himself.

It's a classic case of an actor dialling things up to 11 and still not doing much of interest. It's especially embarrassing as Franco obviously had total control over the production and still didn't give himself a particularly ripe part.

In fact, the only actor in the entire movie to truly escape unscathed is Milla Jovovich, whose roaring-for-the-cheap-seats performance is one of the few meritorious aspects of this woefully undercooked low-fi grindhouse homage.

Coming so soon after Franco's wonderful work as actor-director on The Disaster Artist, this couldn't feel like much more of a polar opposite showing.
