Bill Nighy: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

by Dan Woburn

1. Leonard Saber - G-Force (2009)

Whatever compelled Nighy to appear as a hammy villain in a Jerry Bruckheimer blockbuster where the heroes are a quartet of talking gerbils, I can€™t rightly say - but easy guesses point towards it being shaped like a bucketful of money.

Whilst there were certain funny moments - I mean, it is Bill Nighy, after all, so if he turns his attention towards a comedy, he€™s gonna get some laughs in - on the whole the script just isn€™t there. Oh, and he€™s acting opposite f*cking CGI gerbils.
