The worst movies of 2022 are more than just disappointing, they fail to deliver on even the most basic promise of being entertaining. Liam Neeson stars in yet another lackluster action-thriller that makes fans yearn for the simpler days of Taken. Bella Thorne takes on a lead role as a drug dealer to help solve the mysterious death of a former customer alongside his mother in Measure of Revenge. Let's also not forget The King's Daughter, starring Pierce Brosnan which saw significant delays until it was decided that no amount of work in post could make it better. But just because critics and some audiences panned these films doesn't mean there aren't some hidden gems.
