#3. I Am Number Four

Alex Pettyfer’s big break came with the action film Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, which we’ve just mentioned. Unfortunately, luck is not on his side, as the second movie he starred in also tanked the box office. In 2011, he took on the lead role in the I Am Number Four franchise, but the movie received harsh criticism. The critics claimed that the dialogues and the script were “forgettable”. And, surprisingly, the audience didn’t seem to buy the plot either! This came as a shock to the production crew, as the Lorien Legacies novels which the film was based on were major bestsellers.
