9 More Actors Who Just Gave Their Worst Performance Ever

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had fans of the eighties adventurer raring to go, hoping that this - likely Harrison Ford's last outing in the role - would redeem the middling Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and go out on a high.

While not the worst thing ever, James Mangold's entry into the series doesn't offer a whole lot to get excited about. All the hallmarks are there - the hat, the whip, the Nazis, the dry humour - but none of it feels fresh or essential. Least essential of all, though, is Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Helena Shaw, Indy's goddaughter and a slippery grifter to the core, more interested in getting her own way than sincerely engaging with the history old Dr Jones is interested in.

Having already succeeded on stage and television to a significant degree, a career low for Waller-Bridge isn't as damning as it sounds. Nevertheless, she brings a deep smugness to a two-point-five dimensional part in the Dial of Destiny that only serves to highlight the inadequacies in the plot and character motivations.

No doubt designed to remind us of the savvy and street-smart Marion (Karen Allen) from Indy's first adventure, Waller-Bridge's delivery is instead smarmy to a fault.
