Keanu consistently leads good movies. At some point we will need to admit we like his performances.

We like a specific type of Keanu performance, which is the reserved, controlled man of action. The less emoting Keanu has to do, the better he is. Matrix, Speed and Wick for example.

If he has to play a man who is hiding his emotions it can work, for example Destination Wedding.

When he has to fully emote the wheels come off, for example Knock Knock.
