How many years experience does Keanu need


Before he demonstrates some ability to act? I mean, how long has he been in this business?

You'd think he'd pick some skills by now.

Atrocious, wooden performance.

What is that thing you're using?.... It's technical.

Amen, I just said the same thing in a separate post.

Until he started his screaming tirades, I thought he had given a restrained, subtle performance. The screaming, "You're making me deaf!!!!", was laughable and entirely UNCONVINCING. At that point, a genuinely tense film degenerated into satire, unintentionally of course.

Hardball. Fantastic film, great acting from Keanu. The man has talent, he was just dealing with a crap script and premise here. Not even sure why he did this movie to be honest.

reply

The script - crap though it was - was no excuse for him to go so over-the-top... The girls managed to stay believable.

The requirement for me to enjoy a film is to be entertained, that he does well. Not everyone needs to be a Jack Nicholson. Every actor has their niche and he's been in some awesome movies in the past.

Bill & Ted
Point Break
Dracula
Speed
The Devil's Advocate
The Gift
The Matrix
Constantine
Street Kings
John Wick

All entertaining flicks.

Thank you for telling me your requirement. My requirement is that I need to be able to suspend my disbelief and be drawn into thinking that what I am seeing on screen is real.

Unfortunately Keanu breaks that requirement with his atrocious, wooden performances and all I can see is a guy trying hard to "act".

Well, it isn't real. Going into every film thinking it should be some realistic romp isn't a reasonable way to enjoy a film. He has been in some extremely entertaining flicks, sorry you're such an overcritical film elitist that you can't set aside your beliefs for 2 hours to enjoy an entertaining movie because of his acting. I'll continue to enjoy them.

I was thinking I've never seen him this animated 😀

Christ the emoticons on this site are ugly.

He's been decent in some films... but not this one. His worst attempt by some distance!

I'm not sure what was worse. His terrible performance in this or his terrible, patchy beard!
