Consistently Excellent is an unfair bar. Which filmmakers have the highest slugging percentage? Kubrick, Jarmusch, Tarantino, all good answers

I would vote for Jordan Peele twice in this thread, if I could.

I think he’s made worse than Cry Macho, which was not very good, but watchable. A bit like The Rookie.

J. Edgar was a mess, The Gauntlet mediocre, and Bronco Billy is his worst that I’ve seen.

The 15:17 to Paris is considered his worst, but I have not yet seen it.

He’s directed another 30 movies though, ranging from good to great. He’s also acted in several other classics. Great career.
