2) Collateral Beauty
The fact that Collateral Beauty managed to waste such an incredible cast should be reason enough to land it on this list, but it’s also the film’s ill-conceived, emotionally manipulative plot, that really left a bitter taste in our mouths here. Offensive on so many levels, and at times just plain stupid, we often wonder how Collateral Beauty even got made in the first place.
Not even a cast that includes Will Smith, Edward Norton and Kate Winslet can improve the situation, as they all deliver subpar work and look tired and bored while doing so. It also doesn’t help matters that the story is completely incoherent and falls off the rails far too soon, leaving you stranded in a film that just keeps getting worse and worse as it goes on.
Our own Matt Donato said it best in his review:
Collateral Beauty is just another wolf in sheep’s clothing, happy to prey on your most innocent feelings without a lick of respect for human elements – don’t mistake it for anything else.
