Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages is the first to come to mind.

James Woods in Killer: A Journal of Murder.
And the ultimate answer: Raul Julia in Street Fighter.

And the ultimate answer: Raul Julia in Street Fighter. This. I've long been the proponent that no matter what an actor does in terms of craft or preparation, they are being guided by the unseen hand of the director, and that any good choices an actor makes are largely due to what the director coaxes from them and pushes for. But Raul Julia in Street Fighter is the exception. The motherfucker showed up to the set with the express desire to bring some Shakespearean class to a goofy D-grade schlockfest based (in the barest use of the word) on the middling plot of a video game a year after Super Mario Bros. They couldn't build the scenery fast enough before he was gobbling it up with relish. The director did nothing except keep the cameras rolling while Raul Fucking Julia strutted around in a goofy-ass costume and even goofier-ass hat that he somehow made look regal and badass. And he did all of this while dying. |

Recently, Elle Fanning - The Neon Demon Eh, I'm not a big Neon Demon fan but I wouldn't call it badly directed. It seemed to me like Refn achieved exactly what he set out to do. Keanu was MVP btw. |

For the most part it’s not, but two things put that movie on my burn list. That there’s a two or three second pause inbetween *every* conversation exchange, and the club scenes gave me a throbbing migraine. |

What was so bad about Jordan Peele's direction? I just thought that most of the time it was simply flat and really unexciting, and I didn't like his choices when he went more for the genre stuff. Like when Kaluuya is standing outside at night and then looks behind and BAM there's a woman standing near a window with that silly look. Just...it's hard to explain but nothing about the way Peele presented that scenario worked for me. The image just looked silly. And there were plenty of those for me in the movie. Like in the third act when the father is getting ready to operate and it's these really cheesy infernal shots and that ridiculous chorus on the soundtrack...man, I know it's not at all a movie of subtleties but come on, tone it down a little. And I think the whole 'uppity whites in black bodies' gimmick could've been done with more intrigue. Here it's clear as day that there's creepy stuff going on because Peele makes it so incredibly obvious from the get-go. But I'm mostly annoyed just by how flat it all is, the shooting style, the compositions, the color choices and so on. |

Bradley Cooper in American Sniper. All my problems with the film's heavy-handedness and manipulative screenplay and direction aside, the "I guess I just needed a minute" scene is pretty damn good.

Vera Farmiga in Running Scared (2006) . This was a very sloppy (and at sometimes a very laughably directed film) but Vera makes the most out of her role here. The scene where she confronts the pedo couple is flat out great acting . God damn she rules.
