Jonah Hex has a rating of 2.51 on MovieMeter and on a budget of $47 million it made just $11m worldwide - a huge critical and commercial failure.

The movie and Brolin received plenty of criticism after its release, and the star has recalled the worst review he received which came from a wheelchair-bound fan at the premiere.

"We left early as one does at their own premiere and there was a guy in a wheelchair that left just before me that didn't see that I left behind him," he said on the Smartless podcast.

Jonah Hex (2010)

At the behest of the United States military, bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin), whose face is horribly distorted, travels across the Wild West to capture the voodoo practitioner Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). Turnbull doesn't mean much good, and that's an understatement.

Directed by: Jimmy Hayward
Stars: Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich

"He thought he was by himself and was wheeling himself out and he said, '86 minutes of a waste of f**king life.' The worst review I've ever gotten."

Brolin does believe that studio interference made the movie even worse.

"The studio kind of took over that movie and they made it even worse than it already was and it wasn't that bad. It really wasn't that bad," he added.

Jonah Hex co-starred Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Michael Fassbender and Smartless co-host Will Arnett.
