Not an immortal and miraculous Hamlet for the ages, but perfectly solid and presentable and unembarrassing. Their disappointment at his unexpected competency was crushing.
From the reviews of that play, and from the adeptness he's shown at other comic roles, I'd love to see him attack Dogberry or Bottom or some other comedic low character. Something where the whole play's not riding on him and he can be completely uninhibited and gleeful. I think that's when he works best.
Hi, my name is juliana, and I have a Keanu problem.
No, he's cute. He's just not a Thespian.
Reeves started living out of hotels -- literally, from a bag -- for a long period after that from what I recall. It's a world of sad.
Personally, I think he can act. Really. He's a very specific type of actor, but give him the right role and he's great it. Example - the first Matrix.
He's just not a Thespian.
See, I'm blind to this because, for whatever reason, I find him too damn compelling to objectively judge his acting skills.
It's a good thing juliana and I have found each other.
I'll take people's word for it that Keanu once had the ability to speak. I'll make a point to see River's Edge and Johny Mneumonic at some point.
You might wanna replace the latter with My Own Private Idaho or Parenthood instead. When I said something positive about Keanu's performance in Johnny Mnemonic I didn't mean to imply that the movie itself was watchable.
Though it is the one time Dolph Lundgren revealed he could act instead of just growl and hit people. It's a shame there just aren't as many crazy bionic street preacher roles as there used to be.

Well, since Medicaid stopped paying for bionic repairs for crazy street preachers, they're just not as visible in society today.
I, too, find Canoe watchable, but I just accept that he's got a limited range that he should be more careful working around, but I understand he really does LOVE SF and comic books like unto a gigundous geek.
Oh, it totally is. I love that sort of thing.
My sister bought it when she came to visit last time, and kept watching it on my laptop in the living room. I had to yell at her to turn the screen so I couldn't see it, but when it came to the
fight in the corridor
I had to look because it's a thing of beauty. You know how there's a moment where the import of "one long take" becomes clear? I think that was hers, and it's a lovely one.
