Hey, I have never heard anyone defend Keanu’s acting for the mid 90s and earlier unless he was playing a stoner. He improved quite a bit considered how bad he started. He is all work ethic with very little natural talent in the drama department. His physical stuff has always been good though.
He is a dam good action star, I read how all the fight choreographers say he is one of the few actors who pics up on the fight scenes well and can learn them in a snap. He is also good with a gun.
He can drive like hell too.. drifting around the parking garage in John wick (2?) Was all himHe is a dam good action star, I read how all the fight choreographers say he is one of the few actors who pics up on the fight scenes well and can learn them in a snap. He is also good with a gun.
He is good with the motorcycle too, I saw his helmet cam footage of him racing those fast motorcycles on a trackHe can drive like hell too.. drifting around the parking garage in John wick (2?) Was all him
yeah, the guy is one of the worst actors but he is one of those nice guys, minds his own business, doesn't talk shit on people very friendly and is in his own world, you just cant help but be a fan.Keanu’s dramatic acting ability is terrible. He shows all the emotional range of a piece of driftwood. He is an instrument that plays one note, and one note only. However, he makes up for it by exuding a special kind of natural charisma, and also having massive likeability, you just root for him when you see him.
Honestly I think that's what made John Wick work so well. Keanu made it seem like a guy who was slightly socially awkward, yet still an unstoppable force of pure badassery. It made it easier to relate to the character. It didn't seem like a guy getting by on super strength or speed, incredible charm or some magical power. He was just a badass on a mission and that in itself was what made the character cool. He felt like the product of nothing more than dedication and hard work.
It was kinda like where James Bond was cool, because he was cool... John Wick was cool because what he was doing was cool.
