2. Elfie Hopkins (2012)
Ryan Andrews' neo-noir misfire
Elfie Hopkins failed to make good on its quaint premise, as the titular heroine (Jaime Winstone) investigates a mysterious new family moving into her tiny, isolated village. While one can't blame Ray for wanting to help give his daughter's project a little star power - appearing briefly as Butcher Bryn, who actually ends up saving the day with a sneaky shotgun blast - he isn't really given much to do other than look ridiculous in a butcher's outfit, kitted out with a comedy moustache just for the Hell of it. Winstone mostly stands around waiting for something to do, but alas, it never materialises; quite how anyone casts Winstone in a film and sidelines him to near-complete inertia is anyone's guess. It's a shame as Jaime is far from a bad actress, but her pop being in the flick doesn't really add much; perhaps next time he could use his imposing presence to lobby for a bit more personality in his character.
