  2. Dec 6, 2012 · Although its Tomatometer fate can probably be guessed by the fact that it isn't being screened for critics, don't feel too badly for Butler -- his filmography has plenty of critical...

    • Playing for Keeps. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the absolute worst film of Gerard Butler's career is "Playing for Keeps," a 2012 mess that could best be described as "Rom-Com: The Movie."
    • The Bounty Hunter. Like so many leading men, Gerard Butler's bread and butter has usually fallen into one of two realms: macho action or romantic comedy.
    • Timeline. Based on the 1999 Michael Crichton novel of the same name, "Timeline" boasts an all-star cast including Paul Walker, Billy Connolly, Neal McDonough, and Frances O'Connor.
    • The Ugly Truth. "The Ugly Truth" is an odd case. Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are wonderfully cast as mismatched romantic partners who inevitably fall in love — but they do so in one of the most boring and dreadfully unfunny romantic comedies ever made.
    • How to Train Your Dragon. The first place on this list couldn't be anything else. "How to Train Your Dragon" is not only one of the best American films of the 21st century, but also one of precious few mainstream movies that have taken Butler seriously: He's an imposing leading man and a platonic old-school macho figure, yes, but dammit, the man also has a heart!
    • Dear Frankie. Butler, regrettably, hasn't done a lot of small-scale indie dramas — ones you find in the program of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes.
    • How to Train Your Dragon 2. Sometimes, stunt casting in animated films can be grating. Other times, it works wonders. Butler as an unfeeling Viking dad named Stoick could have gone either way, really, as could have the "How to Train Your Dragon" series as a whole.
    • Reign of Fire. Every superstar actor has two or three cult movies in their catalog — those controversial, initially panned films that eventually find a small but passionate audience.
    • 300. Film (2006) 751 votes. In the epic movie 300, King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) leads his Spartan warriors into battle against the massive Persian army. Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, this film is a historical fantasy war spectacle, directed by Zack Snyder.
    • Law Abiding Citizen. Film (2009) 814 votes. In the gripping thriller Law Abiding Citizen, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler), a family man turned vigilante, embarks on a relentless pursuit of justice.
    • Olympus Has Fallen. Film. 505 votes. Olympus Has Fallen is a 2013 American action thriller film. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, it stars Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman, with Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Cole Hauser, Finley Jacobsen, Ashley Judd, Melissa Leo, Dylan McDermott, Radha Mitchell, and Rick Yune in supporting roles.
    • London Has Fallen. Film (2016) 292 votes. After the death of the British prime minister, the world's most powerful leaders gather in London to pay their respects.
