Movie performances that are so bad or good that it makes you not want to finish the movie?

    With Ford v. Ferrari in heavy rotation lately on FX, it dawned on me that most of the time I only watch the movie only up until Ken Miles (Christian Bale) almost wins the Le Mans race before Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas) tells him to slow down for that 3-car finish, making Miles finish 2nd. John Lucas' performance was so good (in that it made me hate him to the core...to the point I had to research the real Leo Beebe to see if he was truly a pretentious prick) that I just change channels most of the time.

    Any performances ever get you guys or gals like that?

    Tessa (Rachel Weiss) from The Constant Gardner -- that movie is a tough one, truly emotionally draining. I'm not sure I'll ever see it again but I'm glad I saw it once.

    Natural Born Killers... it's been a long time but it's one of the few movies I can think of being so put off that I decided to call it halfway through.

    Was it Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis? Were their performances good or bad? Was it the script and they nailed what they were asked to do? I don't know, maybe a bit of all the above but I couldn't do it.

    Dude basically only has one acting gear, but if you are looking to cast someone you want to punch in the face, Josh Lucas is an all-time great.
