Rendition (2007)
The violin player should have won something...

...for endurance. He/she played through the whole movie. Whereas good movies reserve the long, drawn-out, 'sad violin' music for a climax that is surprising, or amazing (or whatever), this movie had to play that climactic music throughout - because the acting was just so bad. SOMEONE/SOMETHING had to have emotion! Describing the performances as 'wooden' would be too kind, and also an affront to nice wood. Which accent did Meryl Streep have during the film? Depends on what scene you're watching. When is Jake Gyllenhaal doing his best Ryan Gosling 'stone face' impression? Pretty much any scene he is in. I could go on, but I'm wasting time...and I've already wasted 2 hours and 2 minutes on this dreck...
