In what can only be described as a cinematic catastrophe, the new British action thriller 'No Other Choice' has achieved the near-impossible: a perfect zero percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film, starring Brendan Fraser and Kate Winslet, has been universally panned by critics in a devastating series of reviews that leaves no aspect of the production unscathed.
Critical Massacre
Renowned publications including The Guardian, Empire, and Time Out have delivered brutal assessments, with many questioning how such esteemed actors became involved in what's being called "one of the worst films of the decade."
The Mirror's own critic didn't hold back, stating: "This isn't just bad - it's spectacularly, memorably awful. The title becomes painfully ironic as you realise there was another choice: not making this film at all."
What Went Wrong?
The production appears to have suffered from multiple catastrophic failures:
- Wooden, unconvincing performances despite the A-list cast
- A plot described as "nonsensical even by action movie standards"
- Poorly choreographed action sequences that border on comical
- Dialogue that critics called "painful to listen to"
A Rare Achievement
Scoring zero on Rotten Tomatoes is remarkably difficult, requiring every single professional review to be negative. Few films in history have achieved this dubious honour, placing 'No Other Choice' in an exclusive club of cinematic disasters.
Despite the critical mauling, the film's commercial fate remains uncertain. Some notoriously bad films have found cult followings or achieved so-bad-it's-good status, though early indications suggest this might be one disaster too catastrophic to salvage.
The production serves as a stark reminder that even Hollywood heavyweights and substantial budgets cannot guarantee quality when fundamental filmmaking principles are ignored.
