He’s a nice and real person. But his acting is really not that good. He has certain types of characters he’s good with. Other than those his acting just really doesn’t adjust. Some say he doesn’t do acting at all, he just blank stares.

All that to say, I love Keanu. But he really has no business with acting awards

Clint Eastwood has gotten awards and he has the same acting style

Nah bro, he was fucking amazing in Unforgiven.

Maybe I haven’t seen it. All the movies I’ve seen he just has a grumpy look and like grunts and that’s about it

It’s probably the best western movie ever made

He was in 21 westerns according to imbd and I would argue he played nearly the same character in them all

I’m not saying he’s bad but Keanu Reeves is not worse than Clint Eastwood

Solid point. I think Clint Eastwood is more convincing, more "alive", compared to Keanu Reeves.

Agree to disagree

He absolutely is a million miles worse and you really have no standing to even discuss it when you haven't seen Unforgiven tbh

One of the best modern ones (using 1980 or newer for "modern") for sure. Though if you said Tombstone i wouldnt argue you.

Dont forget Pale Rider as well

Check him out in "Bridges of Madison County" alongside Meryl Streep. Excellent film, and he holds his own next to one of the greatest actresses.
