7 Awesome Actors Who Just Made 7 Bad Movies In A Row

The Seven Awful Movies: Last Knights (2015), Ted 2 (2015), Momentum (2015), London Has Fallen (2016), Now You See Me 2 (2016), Ben-Hur (2016) and Going in Style (2017)

Morgan Freeman is a bit of an exception here, because his regal presence in even horrendous movies usually allows him to escape with his dignity in tact. That, and he most often takes smaller supporting parts that allow him to nudge the blame and humiliation onto someone else's shoulders. Plus, the guy is so upfront about taking paycheck roles in interviews that it's tough to be that mad at him, and at 80 years old, does he really need to be doing anything?

Still, his last remotely acclaimed movie was 2014's Dolphin Tale 2, and with his next major release being Angel Has Fallen, it's unlikely he's going to break the streak anytime soon.
