    Keanu Reeves in Dracula

    And Dangerous Liaisons.
    Ah, in fairness he was playing a 'nice but dim' character in that. Perfect casting there, IMO.

    Sexy Beast, ½ a great movie.

    Ben Kingsley, Ray Winstone - tense, well acted first half.

    Then Ray meets the top boss - Lovejoy!
    All downhill from there (not all Lovejoy's fault granted)

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tudors. Looked nothing like Henry VIII.

    Not quite as bad but also worth mentioning Maria Doyle Kennedy as Catherine of Aragon in the same show.

    Not aware of the film but films generally are not filmed in the order you see it.

    Chris O'Donnell in Circle of Friends. A truly anaemic romantic lead.

    Cate Blanchett in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It didn't help that the film was a stinker but she was awful. And they shouldn't have let Shia LaBeouf within a 100 mile radius of the set.

    Guys, it's the TV forum, at least try and keep things to that medium?

    Gotta agree on Finn Jones in Iron Fist; and the producers knew it too cos season 2 made pains to downplay his presence in the story...

    This is who I was going to list.

    Reacher is built like a brick sh!t house in the books.

    Tom Cruise is not.

    I'd say Cruise would still take you easily out with a flick of his fingers though

    No, for such good writing and such a good character, Murphy performance is as usual wooden, one dimensional, and dead.
    It would much better with a better actor. There are hundreds of actors that could play that part better.

    I couldn't disagree more.

    In that case I feel sorry for your lack of taste and appreciation of the noble art of acting.
