Casey Affleck: 5 Awesome Performances & 5 That Sucked

4. Charlie - Tower Heist (2011)

The pretty-damn-terrible Brett Ratner heist comedy starring Ben Stiller (slummin' it) and Eddie Murphy (phoning it in) also somehow managed to nab Casey as the common-sense member of the group. It was the kind of lowest common denominator heist pic that probably had Casey longing for the slick, stylish, dizzying heights of Ocean's Eleven. Once again delivering the most low-key performance of anyone ever, Affleck only manages to come off looking bored, apparently just waiting for the cameras to finally stop rolling.
