6. Laura Linney's Pointless Role

Many eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the terrific Laura Linney would be joining the movie's cast.

Linney plays a senior police officer, Rebecca Vincent, who has a fairly inconsequential role in the film, downplaying the presence of the Turtles and holding Casey and April in custody as madness unfolds around them.

Linney is, of course, completely wasted in the part and follows in the footsteps of John Malkovich and Frances McDormand in Michael Bay's Transformers movies by taking the easy paycheck in a totally forgettable role.

The character could be scrapped from the movie and affect very little change, and seeing someone of Linney's talent in the film is just incredibly jarring.
