Nobody ever said he was a great actor, and even he knows it… which is why he gave so much money to the vfx artists in The Matrix. His stint as Jonathan Harker in Dracula is legendarily awful.
John Wick has been a big turnaround for him, but it’s a character that doesnt talk unless he absolutely has to.
I’d warn you that it’s a pretty horny film, but Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (by Clive Barker /j) was also very horny, so that may not be an issue.
Yeah he’s a truly awful actor. I’m amazed he’s as popular as he is. His real life training to do his own stunts for John Wick is super impressive, and I think the first movie was fine for him since he barely talked, but goddamn, any time he says anything it’s just such a chore to listen to.
The scene in the second matrix movie where Hugo Weaving comes back and confronts him has such an incredible monologue from Hugo Weaving, and then one fucking line from Keanu is just so goddamn stilted it almost ruins the whole scene. Lol
Keanu Reeves.
There’s a difference between having positive PR & being good looking vs. being able to act.

He really is more of an action movie character indeed. It works great in John Wick, and also did work well in The Matrix.
Jonathan Harker proves that he can’t do accent work, but he did do some decent acting in The Devil’s Advocate.
Yes, Harker, thanks. I havent seen TDA, which is weird because it seems right up my alley

I looked it up
I can’t believe the director didn’t reshoot Keanu’s part like 200 times. What a fucking juxtaposition of talent, wow!!!
