Whats his worst film?


Ever since the mid 2000's his career has really taken a dive and been in a ton of stinkers. I can name a ton of really bad ones, but for me the worst had to be Dirty Grandpa. He's had some embarassing roles, but that one was just sad to watch him sink so low.

Let the man relax and enjoy himself in his old age. His career is clearly winding down. His best work is behind him, ans he knows it.

For an actor who delivered so many iconic roles from the 70s through to the 90s, he is entitled to do what he wants and take it easy now. You can expect him to out himself through the emotional and physical rigours of roles like Jake La Motta, Al Capone etc and physically transform himself.

For me, the man has earned the right to take it easy. The sort of roles he is doing now are either for fun, or to make money for his family and future generations. Same as most of us would, given the chance.

The man has earned the right to take it easy. Let him be.

That doesn't mean he gets off the hook from critcism for making crap movies.

Being a huge fan of his earlier films I stopped watching his movies sometime in the 2000's when he began starring in too many comedies, so I'll pick The Fan instead, but I'm sure there are plenty of his films from the mid 2000's onwards that are worse, I just avoided them.

Can I pick Ronin? Had some good stunts but that movie was dumb.

But his worst!?!

Sure. Narrowly edged out Angel Heart.

Angel Heart was great!

Stardust

Meet The Fockers was pretty bad

I’ve avoided all his ‘obviously’ bad/widely panned movies. The worst that I’ve actually sat through is probably Joy, with Sleepers and Frankenstein not far behind.
