“Face/Off” (1997)
This action thriller directed by John Woo features Cage in one of his most iconic roles as both hero and villain. Playing a dual role alongside John Travolta, Cage’s performance is over-the-top in the best way, contributing to the film’s enduring popularity.

“The Rock” (1996)
In this Michael Bay action film, Cage plays a biochemist tasked with stopping a group of rogue soldiers from launching a nerve gas attack on San Francisco. His performance, alongside Sean Connery, is a perfect blend of humor and intensity.

“Left Behind” (2014)
Based on the popular Christian book series, “Left Behind” is a poorly executed film about the Rapture. Cage’s wooden performance and the film’s low-budget production values make it one of his most forgettable roles.

“Deadfall” (1993)
In this crime thriller, Cage plays Eddie, a con man with a penchant for melodrama. His performance is wildly erratic, bordering on absurd, and the film itself is a messy, low-budget affair that’s best forgotten.

“Jiu Jitsu” (2020)
This sci-fi martial arts film combines aliens with ancient martial arts, and not in a good way. Cage’s role as a warrior tasked with fighting extraterrestrial invaders is bizarre, and the film’s low-budget execution does it no favors.
Netflix
“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” (2010)
A Disney fantasy film in which Cage plays a wizard training a young apprentice, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” fails to capture the magic of its premise. Cage’s performance is uninspired, and the film’s reliance on CGI spectacle over story makes it one of his weaker efforts.

“Season of the Witch” (2011)
This supernatural action film set during the Crusades sees Cage as a disillusioned knight tasked with transporting a suspected witch. The film’s poor special effects, muddled plot, and uninspired performances make it a low point in Cage’s career.

“Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” (2012)
The sequel to the 2007 “Ghost Rider” film, this movie was a critical and commercial disappointment. Cage’s portrayal of Johnny Blaze feels phoned in, and the film’s chaotic direction and weak script make it one of his worst outings.
