Keanu Reeves Films 

I really love Keanu Reeves and have for a longtime.. Here are some of my favorite films of his..

films of his already reviewed in my blog..

1.  Replicas 2018 - is a sci-fi thriller with an outstanding cast.  The movie tells the story of a neuroscientist (Keanu Reeves) who during a planned trip with his family is involved in a devastating wreck that kills his wife and three children, in which due to his research he can bring back to life.  The science that he has worked on his entire life, he now has to count on to recreate his family.  I really can't say enough about this movie it was absolutely fantastic, it kept my attention from start to finish. It would be wrong for me to give you any details but it is a definite must see and lets just say I can't wait for the sequel.

2.  Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992 - is a Gothic horror film based on the book Dracula by Bram Stoker.. The film focuses on Vlad Dracula (Gary Oldman) who returns from a victory against the Turks to find his beloved wife Elisabeta (Winona Ryder) has committed suicide after receiving a false report of his death.. When the priest tells him that his wife's soul is condemned for taking her own life.. Dracula destroys the chapel and renounces his faith.. stabbing the chapel's stone cross and drinking the blood .. the film then jumps to 1897 where Dracula comes to meet a young woman Mina Harker (Winona Ryder) that he believes to be his wife reincarnated.. The movie is dramatic and intriguing..keeping me on the edge of my seat..

3.  The Lake House 2006 - is a romantic drama starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Christopher Plummer.. the film focuses on two separate points in time..  Alex Wyler (Reeves) an architect living in 2004 and Kate Forrester (Bullock) a doctor living in 2006.. the two meet via letters that are left in the mailbox at the lake house.. and begin to correspond remaining separated by time... I love love loved this film.. it is a great romance film..

4.  John Wick franchise 2014 - Keanu Reeves plays John Wick ex hitman who is forced to come out of retirement when after losing his wife he is forced to endure the theft of his 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and his beloved puppy given to him to aid in his grief.  The film is one of Keanu Reeves best and will keep your attention throughout.

John Wick Chapter 2 2017 - Keanu Reeves returns as a hitman who goes on the run after a bounty is placed on his head. This movie is packed with even more action than the first and a much bigger dog.  Both films are outstanding and John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum is scheduled to be released in May 2019.
 
5.  The Matrix Franchise - is a sci-fi action thrill ride franchise about a group of heroes who fight a war against machine overlords that have enslaved humanity in a high tech virtual reality system.. Keanu Reeves stars in this amazing special effect franchise noted for its stop action slow motion effects.. The Matrix 1999, The Matrix Reloaded 2003 and The Matrix Revolutions 2003 all of which were creations of The Wachowskis.. 

I have to be honest much like other high impact action films.. I can say I have watched all of The Matrix films.. however they are not really my type .. I much prefer Keanu Reeves in the John Wick franchise.. I just love the whole concept of the John Wick franchise.. but that being said ..The Matrix has its place in films.. because it incorporates high action, sci fi, fantasy and special effects like no other movies have.. and of course Keanu Reeves is ever so hot in them.. Definitely worth seeing all of them.. Exceptional special effects..

6.  Constantine 2005 - is a thriller occult film that stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine... The film is loosely based on DC Comics Hellblazer.. The film portrays John Constantine as a cynic with the ability to perceive and communicate with half angels and half demons in their true form.. He seeks his own salvation from eternal hell for a suicide attempt in his youth.. Basically Constantine draws out demons from their hosts and sends them back to Hell but he is growing increasingly weary.. He is suffering from lung cancer .. As a survivor of suicide demon fighter Constantine has literally been to Hell and back .. but he is still hoping to gain access to heaven through redemption..

This film is full of special effects and drama.. Dark intrigue and interesting.. Love it.. and you will too..

7.  Knock Knock 2015 - is an erotic thriller film.. The film focuses on a happily married architect Evan Webber (Keanu Reeves) who has the house to himself along with his dog due to a physical therapy appointment and work while his wife and kids have gone off on a previously planned trip..
Two women Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bel (Ana de Armas) knock on Evan's door.. saying they are looking for the address of a party.. They ask if they can use the Internet and get a hold of the party's host.. and Evan lets them in to his home.. allowing them to make themselves at home.. They disappear into the bathroom and when their driver arrives Evan tries to get them to leave.. but they start to force themselves on him and he gives in having a threesome with them.. After which Evan finds out that his wife's art has been vandalized by them and drama ensues..

This film is disturbingly interesting.. at times you wait for John Wick to kick in and save the day in a big no holds barred way.. However this film is exactly what I thought a home invasion film with a twist..

8.  To the Bone 2017 - is a drama with an outstanding cast and stars Keanu Reeves and Lily Collins.. The film follows a young anorexic woman (Collins) who returns home to the house of her stepmother and father who are unwilling to deal with her and set her up with Dr Beckham (Reeves) who insists she start his inpatient program.. Ellen moves into the program house.. This film is deep, interesting, and heart breaking..  This film is dark and disturbing at times..but well worth watching

9.  Street Kings 2008 - is a crime thriller action film with an outstanding cast.. The film focuses on Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) who is a disillusioned police detective working for a Vice unit who is haunted by the death of his wife.. He works undercover and after getting information on Korean gangsters who may have kidnapped young girls.. eventually having a shootout and locating the girls.. he is congratulated .. drama ensues.. there is an investigation..  The film has vigilante justice, intense action, drama and betrayal.. Loved it.. Enjoyable for any action crime fan.. A definite must watch film..
