Then it can be a real pain the ass.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Sometimes an actor, not through his acting but just through what he is, fits a part in a way that transcends his abilities.

Watch the Matrix. Keanu fits the bill perfectly, and it's a movie worth seeing.

Only watch the first movie, the rest are crap. Oh and the animated one was good too.

10 There are no other Matrix movies. There is one, and some other stuff you must never watch lest the real one will be spoiled for you beyond repair

Constantine probably made most christians ejaculate on Keanu's performance. They do like the god stories.

What if both pills are just placebos?

Constantine was so much better than the Matrix. I didn't really see it as religious, just mythological. It was just better story telling by far. The matrix was hella more melodramatic and preachy.
god is supposed to be imaginary

Constantine the movie or the show?

If the movie then it is the first movie where I saw how useless angels can be, and how gullible the devil can be...

Just watched it. It wasn't horrible. But it did nothing to change my opinion of Keanu Reeves as an actor. He's a cipher, brings nothing at all to any role he's in. I can easily imagine any other actor as Neo, without affecting the quality of the film one whit.

Imagine Adam Sandler as NEO...
Imagine Rowan Atkinson as Agent Smith...
Imagine Eddie Murphy as Morpheus...
