Margot Robbie Movies Horror

Over the past decade, Margot Robbie has become one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Plenty of people know her as the actress who plays Harley Quinn, but Robbie's career has taken her from small budget horror films to blockbuster popcorn flicks and everything in between. She has a penchant for taking roles based on historical figures, but whether she's playing the queen of England or the Joker's girlfriend, Robbie always brings her A-game and is quite often the most memorable part of the films she appears in.

Time and time again Robbie impresses viewers by being able to do it all. She's got excellent comedic timing, mesmerizing emotional range, and an accent game that could make even the most seasoned professional jealous. Of course, like any other actor with a similarly extensive filmography, Robbie's history is filled with highs and lows. Here are all of her film roles, ranked from worst to best.

No one expects an actor's first movie to be the high point of their career, but Margot Robbie's first feature film might have been the low point of hers. Vigilante, which was written and directed by indie filmmaker Aash Aaron, has a whopping 25% approval rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Over on IMDb, the film ranks at 2.6 out of 10 stars. There are certainly worse action movies out there, but that's probably the best someone could say about the film.

Vigilante is part revenge movie, part comic book origin story. The film follows a man named Luke (Robert Díaz), whose fiancée is murdered by members of an organized crime family. Luke decides to dedicate his life to training as the perfect masked vigilante. Though he sharpens all his combat skills and buys himself some weapons, Luke has no idea that the people who attacked his family are still looking for him. Despite being Robbie's debut film, Vigilante is far from a must watch.

A year after starting her film career with a supporting role in Aash Aaron's Vigilante, Margot Robbie played the lead in his 2009 horror flick I.C.U. Robbie stars as Tristan Waters, a teenager who likes to spy on the other tenants of her high-rise apartment building. While watching the neighbors one day, Tristan and her friends come to believe they've discovered the identity of a serial killer who's been terrorizing the city. But thanks to the building's elaborate camera system, the killer may have a way of watching them, as well.

The film was advertised as being in the tradition of 'Rear Window' and 'Saw, ' but judging by its 2.6 star rating on IMDb, audiences weren't thrilled by the combination of sensibilities. I.C.U. tries to walk the line between psychological thriller and bloody horror, but it never manages to find a solid balancing point between the two.

Rotten Tomatoes says that 2018's Terminal is worth seeking out for only the most hardcore of Margot Robbie completists and calls the movie dreadfully derivative. Written and directed by Vaughn Stein, the film fails despite having a solid cast. Robbie stars alongside Simon Pegg, Mike Meyers, Dexter Fletcher, and Matthew Lewis, but unfortunately the film is missing a compelling story or comedy beats that land.

Terminal is a comedic crime story about three assassins with competing interests crossing paths in a neon-soaked city. The film has a distinct visual style which gets shown off in its trailer, but that might be the high point of the experience. Otherwise, Terminal is marred by an overcomplicated plot that has little new to offer the genre and jokes that even the film's talented cast can't keep from falling flat. It's not Robbie's worst film, but it's not worth rushing out to see either.

2016's Suicide Squad is a flawed film that nevertheless features one of the most memorable performances of Margot Robbie's career. The film introduced her to DC fans as the first live-action Harley Quinn, and Robbie knocked the role out of the park. She managed to capture all the nuance that makes Harley Quinn a compelling villain and a sympathetic character at the same time.

Sadly, the rest of the film doesn't live up to Robbie's performance. The story of Amanda Waller putting together a team of villains to do wet work for the U.S. government is both too heavy on exposition and messily constructed. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 26% rating, and even audiences, though more accepting with a 58% rating, couldn't give the film a fresh score. Luckily, Suicide Squad wasn't the last time Robbie got to shine as Harley Quinn, and her future films were markedly better.

Suicide Squad wasn't the only 2016 film that gave Margot Robbie the chance to play a beloved character who'd previously appeared in cartoons. In The Legend of Tarzan, Robbie stars opposite Alexander Skarsgård as the titular character's love interest, Jane Clayton. The film opens with an adult Tarzan, now called John Clayton, living in Britain with his wife Jane. John and his family are pulled back to the Congo, where he grew up, when they learn that Léon Rom (Christoph Waltz) is enslaving the people there on behalf of the king of Belgium. John will need to re-embrace his Tarzan identity in order to stop Léon and save the Congo.

Directed by David Yates, who also handled the later Harry Potter films and the Fantastic Beasts franchise, the film performed well enough at the box office but failed to impress critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 35% score while criticizing its generic plot and sluggish pace.

In 2018, Margot Robbie played a supporting role in Slaughterhouse Rulez, a horror-comedy film directed by Crispian Mills, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Henry Fitzherbert. The film takes place at a British boarding school where young Don Wallace (Finn Cole) is hoping to find friends and comfort after the death of his father. What he finds instead is a malicious supernatural force that unleashes bloodthirsty monsters on the school.

This film saw Robbie reunited with Simon Pegg on the big screen, and the two of them worked with talented young actors like Jamie Blackley, Jassa Ahluwalia, and Asa Butterfield. A great cast was sadly not enough to save the film, which completely bombed with critics. Rotten Tomatoes called the film out for failing to pull off either its horror or comedy elements, while adding that the picture completely missed out on its attempt at B-grade movie fun.

Written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, Focus is most notable for the sizzling presence of its two leads, Margot Robbie and Will Smith. The story follows the relationship between experienced con artists Nicky Spurgeon (Smith) and young upstart Jess Barrett (Robbie). The two fall in love, but the nature of their work means that they can never really trust each other, while their rocky romance might end up getting them in trouble with their unsavory employers.

According to Box Office Mojo, Focus more than tripled its budget at the global box office. Critically, however, the film underperformed. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes said that the film nearly skates by because of Robbie and Smith, but ultimately its success was marred by a predictable script that didn't bring anything new to the genre. Audiences weren't particularly impressed with the film either, but there's definitely a subset of crime story fans who will feel at home in Focus.

Directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Dreamland is a period drama set during the Great Depression. Finn Cole stars as Eugene Evans, a young man living in small-town Texas who decides to try and earn a living as a bounty hunter. His plans are quickly disrupted when he meets the fugitive bank robber Allison Wells (Margot Robbie) and the two begin falling in love. Eugene finds himself torn between doing his job to support his family and running off into the sunset with Allison, but the other lawmen looking for her just might make the decision for him.

While Dreamland wasn't particularly well-reviewed by critics, many audiences might have overlooked the film. Back in 2019, it had a limited theatrical release before almost immediately making its way to streaming platforms (via Deadline). Dreamland never had its proper time to shine, but then again, the reviews weren't totally wrong — it's mostly a sleeper anyway.

Josie Rourke made her directorial debut with this 2018 film, which was nominated for Oscars in two categories: makeup and costume design. Based on the 2004 book Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, the story dramatizes the real-life story of two English royals. Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan) has dreams of overthrowing her cousin Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie) as the Queen of England, but her attempt to fulfill those dreams ends with her in prison and facing execution.

The film debuted to moderate box office success, but despite getting some recognition from the Academy Awards, opinions were split on Mary Queen of Scots. According to Rotten Tomatoes, critics found themselves fairly impressed by the performances from Ronan and Robbie, but underwhelmed by the screenplay. Meanwhile, audiences disapproved of the
