City of Joy. The book was about the life of a slum dweller in Calcutta, India. The movie cast Patrick Swayzee as the Polish priest in the slum. Awful all the way around.
Just reread Lee Child's One Shot, which this film was based, and I still saw, in my mind, Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike, and Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog when their characters came up.

Another adaptation of a good book ruined by miscasting: Interview With The Vampire.
