13 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018

10. Gary Oldman (Tau)

This Netflix tech-thriller is full of talented actors it doesn't deserve, though none more than Gary Oldman, who plays the titular evil A.I. and, fortunately for him, is only required to lend his voice to the role.

But even so, Oldman's disinterest couldn't be more apparent throughout, with every single line of dialogue sounding like a first take because the production couldn't afford more studio time with him.

Considering that the movie's well-trod central plot revolves around a disembodied A.I.'s potential to learn and be "human", Oldman's work clearly should've become increasingly animated throughout.

Instead, it's a total flat-line and the very worst among Oldman's countless history of shameless paycheck roles.
