Robert De Niro and Kathy Bates' star power wasn't enough to save the 2004 drama The Bridge of San Luis Rey from bad reviews. The star-studded cast, which also included Gabriel Byrne and F. Murray Abraham, couldn't elevate the sluggish and poorly executed film. The Bridge of San Luis Rey's profound premise was overshadowed by a lackluster script, leading to a dismal 4% critical score.
