Reeves is as wooden as ever

Yeah that's your opinion pal. Keanu has a deadpan charisma. And that's him doing almost all the stunts. Dude is a movie star for a reason.

John Wick isn't supposed to walk around smiling and high fiving everyone. Would a guy like him even have a personality when he's killed so many people in the span of a few days (across both movies)?

Nah, Keanu kills it as John Wick. He gives the character a dark charm.

Nah, Keanu's performance works as it is.

Nah, Keanu is perfect for this role. Remember, John is a tortured soul who wants nothing at all to do with all this killing. He just wants peace and to be left alone.

the most over done and worst thing about action stars is when they are overly charismatic, charming, constantly humorous, life of the party kind of people

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise work as action stars but they aren't always that believable in like hitman or serious action type of roles because their star power is more important than the character

I think the Reeves does a great job at remaining pretty calm and keeping the character low key. After all how would you expect a real assassin to be? they probably would be extremely deadpan and quiet like John Wick is.

Keanu kills it. Just like with Neo, sometimes underplaying the role isn't such a bad thing

I for one like his quiet but endearing John Wick style

she fell through a hole, and was never seen again

That is the whole point of his character. He is talking in one liners and it works. All the one liners are awesome. I loved when he was talking Russian and his use of sign Language. He was awesome.

I have never gotten this about Reeves.

My only issue with him was Dracula. He seemed out of place in that period piece, but he was ok in other historical roles.
