Top 5 Keanu Reeves Films
I have to admit that Keanu Reeves' slightly monotone and pretty limited acting skills havent really stopped him playing a nice range of characters and doing quite well. True most of his films have been incredibly poor, but some of his films are also brilliant, either for the story or the characters, one of which he plays. One thing that is true though, is that the vast majority of his films, with the exception of only one or two are incredibly cheesey. Here's my Top 5:1. Speed
2. Point Break
3. Constantine
4. The Replacements
5. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Yes I know I didn't include The Matrix. I loved Speed as a kid, and Point Break kind of just continued the same kind of 'loose-canon' stereotype cop he was good at playing. It also got him noticed as an 'action star' showing he can carry a film, even if Patrick Swayze and the Red Hot chilli Peppers did help rather a lot in Point Break. Constantine shows how good Keanu is at playing assholes, a suprisingly hard skill to master, but he's had a bit of bad guy experience, so it probably helped.
I choose The Replacements, mostly because the film is amazing. It's hilarious, I love it, Keanu Reeves just happens to be in it. The guy who plays the Linebacker and the Millionaire in Friends is much funnier.
By far Keanu's greatest achievement is the Bill & Ted movies. A film for a whole generation to aspire to, really stretching himself and challenging boundaries, these films will live on long after he's left us. Dude...
