Question What happened to John Cusack?

Looking at his IMDB page and he's in a bunch of crap (rated 5.0 or lower) movies and a Chinese produced movies (judging from the original titles and posters).

He was in a lot of my favorite movies from the 80s until the teens and then just seemed to disappear.

Did something happen to his career? Self inflicted?

America's Sweethearts was the cringefest that made me realize that aging was problematic for Cusack. The stacked talent in that flick just emphasizes how terrible it is.

America's Sweetheart had THE WORST script! I read that he did it as a favor to the director.

I remember that, it was just the most generic hollywood-slop movie.
