9 More Actors Who Just Gave Their Worst Performance Ever

Once a director you could comfortably mention in the same breath as Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez has spent the bulk of his career since the '90s creating a pretty uneven filmography, with highs in Once upon a Time in Mexico and lows in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

His recent effort Hypnotic sadly falls into the latter bracket, taking us into a sub-Matrix world where illusion and VR reign supreme. Despite having Ben Affleck in the lead role (who can, if nothing else, definitely put in a performance and pull serious numbers), the film is uninspired, confused, derivative and, well, just really dull.

William Fichter stars opposite the ex-Bat as Dellrayne, a gifted "Hypnotic" who knocks over banks, takes no prisoners, and has something to do with the disappearance of Detective Danny Rourke's (Affleck) son. Fichter is an old hand at this kind of role, but that is precisely what's wrong. He spends the film sleepwalking through a part he's played a hundred times before - but it's not all on him. The script is thin, the dialogue stiff, and every actor on screen suffers as a result.
