And Clive Owen is the worst box office poison to ever grace the screen. Everything he is in just dies. It gives me no pleasure to point that out. There is always the excuses for every film, of why it isn\’t his fault. But his proximity causes movies to die and seriously under-perform. Even A-list co-stars, or talented directors or writers can\’t over come his poison effect. He is a box office anvil tied around the neck of every film he is in.
