Amber Heard’s worst movie featuring ex-husband Johnny Depp
Aquaman star took up the lead role in the film London Fields in 2018. The film was based on the top-selling novel by author Martin Amis and intended to be a neo-noir. Heard played the role of a woman with intoxicating beauty named Nicola Six. The movie revolves around a woman known to have psychic abilities, and she gets an intuition about her murder. Hence, she has an affair with three men, feeling one of them would attempt to kill her.
While the plot seems quite intriguing, the movie failed to follow through in the execution. The film received the most unbelievable 0% Rotten Tomatoes score. And the critics went on and on to list the film’s endless faults.
Tim Stevens of Comicverse stated,
“Every now and then a movie comes along that is so singularly ill-conceived, so gigantically rotten at its core, it demands I break the format. LONDON FIELDS is such a film.”
Jeanette Catsoulis from New York Times wrote,
“Quite simply, horrendous — a trashy, tortured misfire from beginning to end.”
LA Times’ Gary Goldstein said,
“The aggressively awful London Fields is, once again, proof that not every successful novel should become a movie.”
The movie was made with an estimated budget of $8 million and grossed a mere $487,420. The actress was nominated for the 2019 Razzie for worst actress of the year.
