I dunno why Keanu gets ***for his one-trick pony acting when dudes like Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington have literally built entire careers on playing exaggerated versions of themselves. Did anyone believe Sam Jackson as Nick Fury or Mace Windu? Yeah, no. It's Sam-***-Jackson.
If anything, Keanu gets ***movies. That's the criticism. His range is weak but only the real fantastic actors can seamlessly genre hop.
Before John Wick which banks on cool Keanu rather than acting chops, what was his last good movie? Constantine?
