I just watched this movie...and having viewed a few of KR's movies, from a sheer acting perspective..it's gotta be his best work.
The persona, the way he handled himself, not only in the role he played, but the on-screen demeanor as well, was simply outstanding.
I know he didnt get a nomination like Denzel Washington in Training Day, but in my ever so humble opinion, he deserved one for this one.
From Devils Advocate, to Matrix, this has to be his best acting work.

I think so too. Its also a good candidate for another KR franchise.

Heaven forbid I have an opinion.
Even those who criticize Keanu's acting the most, have to admit that he gave a very convincing performance in The Gift.
As for his performance in this movie, I always thought he did an impressive job myself (even if he was a tad uneven). Ultimately, though, I wouldn't call it his best work.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
