Name a film that starts strong but ends weak

I hate when this happens: a film starts off and grabs you but then at some point it falls apart and ends on a weak note. Maybe these aren’t the best examples, but IMO these films got boring midway through:

Top Gun (after Goose died)
Baby Driver (after the first car scene)
Taken (after he stabbed his ex-colleague’s wife)

When A Stranger Calls (1979)

It goes way down hill after the first 20 minutes. Those first 20 minutes are fantastic!

That story wasn't made to be a 90 minute movie, it's a horror story told in like 5 minutes. Would've been a fine addition to an anthology tv series
