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?

They really are. Rewatched it recently and it was amazing to see how well they were done for a film coming out when it did. Most fights were just these laughable exchanges of the most telegraphed punches known to man.

If I recall correctly the other actor for the locker hall fight was Cusack’s trainer and maybe the fight coordinator? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Urquidez

Yeah. That’s Benny “The Jet.”
