He has the charisma to play the leading man in any script he wants. He has the power to make most any movie into box office gold. Keanu Reeves has enough credit to sell the tickets to any movie by simply attaching his name to the project.

Beyond the list of movies he can claim, or the millions he has earned, Keanu Reeves is a bad actor. Since his debut in Parenthood or Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Reeves has done little to progress as an actor. He gives the pinnacle aspect of his character in Point Break. From that movie on, he is exactly the same character in all his later movies.

Speed, Johnny Mnemonic, The Matrix, Constantine, The Replacements, the list goes on. Reeves give you different shades of the same guy he regurgitates over and over. Reeves has had the opportunity to widen his horizons with so many different scripts. But no, he is not capable of even trying.

Reeves does not attempt to change his speech, mannerisms, or walk for different roles. He has found a profitable formula and refuses to stray from the path.

At least he is dependable. You can walk into a theater with confidence because you know exactly what he will give you on screen. He is the semi-spaced out surfer dude the gives ‘whoa’ new meaning.
