5 Performances That Sucked...
5. Dr. Claire Lewicki - Days of Thunder (1990)
There isn't much substance or quality to be associated with Tony Scott's
Days of Thunder, save for a few near-sensational race car sequences and a star turn by a young Tom Cruise. And this is, of course, the movie where Nicole Kidman met her future husband, though her own presence in the film is a minor and blandly affair. The film's highlight (for Kidman fans, anyway) probably comes in the way of the movie's somewhat infamous "very good physical" scene, in which her character, Dr. Claire Lewicki, argues with and then proceeds to devour Tom Cruise in bed. It's kind of sexy, at least. All in all, though, there's nothing truly horrific about Kidman's performance here, but she's relatively boring and forgettable, which, one could argue, is likely down to the limitations of her generic love interest role on a script level.
