"Ghost Rider" was a 2007 joint effort between Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures, and starred none other than Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, aka the Ghost Rider — a daredevil who becomes a supernatural crimefighter after a deal with the devil goes sour. The film also featured such talent as Sam Elliott, Eva Mendes, and, of course, Wes Bentley. The critics mercilessly lambasted "Ghost Rider," and even though the movie was a box office success, netting $228.7 million worldwide on a budget of $110 million (per Box Office Mojo), the audience's interest proved to be kinder than that of the professional reviewers.
As of now, "Ghost Rider" is sitting at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes, and with the unending onslaught of high profile superhero films that have come since, we hardly blame you if the film slipped your mind. Bentley's role in the film is relatively minor, too. He appears as the villain Blackheart, Ghost Rider's mythical punching bag for most of the third act.
