Perhaps one of Rogen's most unusual (and underappreciated) movies, this super-dark comedy finds him playing a mentally unstable mall cop who goes on a vigilante spree once he's pushed to the breaking point by a mean police officer (played by Ray Liotta).

Audiences in 2009 weren't into seeing Rogen turn this dark. To date, it's his lowest-earning movie at the box office.
