John Wick 1-2-3 (2014 – 2019)
“Never poke at a former killer” was the clearest message of John Wick, which was still a brand name of Keanu Reeves. Without delving into personal tragedies or complicated details, John Wick exploited the appeal of choking action scenes and violent hand-to-hand combat. The leading role just had a few scripts. All the actor needed to do was to fight on each frame.
Constantine (2005)
If The Matrix ranked first on the cryptic scenario among the Keanu Reeves’ movies, then surely the number two position belonged to Constantine. In this movie, his co-star was Rachel Weisz, who had created great chemical reactions with Keanu Reeves. The central character of Constantine was the detective with the ability to identify the essence inside each person.
Point Break (1991)
The success of Point Break did not come from the script. In fact, the content of the police destroying criminal gangs was not new. So it may be successful thanks to the spectacular action scenes with the “golden triangle” including Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Gary Busey. The film burned the summer of 1991 with hot scenes on the beach of the cast and became the inspiration for the blockbuster seriesbFast and Furious.
Speed (1994)

In the movie, Keanu Reeves teamed up with “Miss FBI” Sandra Bullock to rescue the bomb car. Their choking journey stirred the box office, and brought back two Oscar gold statues. The movie also made investors smile happily when it reached a profit of 10 times the budget.
The fame and commercial success of Speed officially brought Keanu Reeves to A rank in Hollywood. Later in an interview, the actor admitted he had fallen in love with Bullock when filming Speed. If only Keanu had confessed, then Hollywood might have had a nice couple now.
A Walk in the Clouds (1995)
After the success of Speed and becoming a phenomenon among action movies, Keanu Reeves decided to try in a romance film. It was hard to imagine that this muscular male actor could be so romantic and dreamy by Aitana Shanchez. They wrote a love story in a simple but profound countryside. Besides a deep script, A Walk in the Clouds also scored by the great soundtrack, which won the Golden Globe Award for the category “Best original soundtrack”, and received a nomination for “The Best Kiss”.
The Lake House (2006)
The reunion of Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves brought 115 million dollars to the revenue. It also received many compliments from the public with many compliments. Fortunately, this romantic movie proved that his acting was not so stiff. In the movie, Keanu Reeves was working with his secret crush one more time.
The plot revolved around the love of two people living in two different timelines. They knew each other through cohesion and then understood and naturally fell in love with each other. Without romantic scenes or any brain-twisting plot, The Lake House was a beautiful and quiet love song.
The Whole Truth (2016)
After the failure of Knock Knock 2015, fortunately Keanu accepted the talented Hollywood film director Courtney Hunt to join her second film project.
The Whole Truth revolved around the process of finding the truth for lawyer Richard Ramsey’s client. The genre of this movie was a crime drama. Although the plot was not new, the film successfully brought viewers from one surprise to another one with an impressive ending.
