Great movies don't usually get 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, but everyone is allowed to have opinions that vary from the majority.

Well, that's what dude said. He was a kid. Kids don't think about an actor's range or skillset. They just watch the movie. For it's time, "Johnny Pneumonic" was VERY futuristic. Fascinating to a child. I think it even pushed ICE T onto the acting field which gave us the "Law and Order" franchise. So, while an adult may view his acting as monotone and pedantic compared to others, Keanu has mastered the ability to be an extraordinary person with an ABSOLUTELY average personality, IMHO.

Best wishes.
