The Worst Morgan Freeman Movie of All Time, According to Critics

The legendary actor's prolific career has not been without some mistakes.

With such a prolific career, however, it's no surprise that he's also made some mistakes along the way. You might have your opinion on his best work, but based on the critical response, these are the worst Morgan Freeman movies of all time.
