Top 10 Keanu Reeves Roles


he’s the one shakes my it’s such a cute
ass
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Keanu Reeves rolls goose
I don’t lose I win for this list we’re
focusing more on how iconic a particular
performance is and less on the overall
quality of the movie I have offended you
with my ignorance count forgive me
number 10 Bob arctor a Scanner Darkly
you know why I’ve got a buck against
this bullshit because this is what gets
people on drugs
it’s also disgusting their child from
becoming user praised for its rotoscoped
animation and its fidelity to the philip
k dick novel A Scanner Darkly C’s Reeves
playing an undercover detective charged
with finding the source of the substance
D drug as many of you know our military
and their associates are actively
engaged in countries where it is
believed the organic component of
substance D a small highly toxic flower
originates thanks to his striking
portrayal of the scramble suit wearing
narc who finds his life and mind slowly
unraveling this dark and twisted
thriller found cult success what does a
scanner see into the head
down in the art does it seem to me into
us clearly or darkly meanwhile Keanu’s
deadpan delivery and co-star chemistry
completed the package eres what about
the super-secret surveillance cameras
huh
that doodads man we got a game to play
nobody could be Dallas with these losers
again number nine Shane Falco the
replacements the fact was great to see
you now get the hell out of my locker
room coach what the hell took you so
long
shut Souta we can’t help but hold a soft
spot for this sports comedy that had us
rooting for the underdog
and leading this ragtag team of
Washington sentinels gaps is all
American Shane Falco to play the
quarterback with miles and miles of
heart Reeves gained over 20 pounds
that’s good mark while he may have been
the straight man to the film’s more
outrageous characters he still knew
exactly how to show us that pain heals
chicks dig scars glory lasts forever
number eight Kevin Lomax the devil’s
advocate 30-minutes majeure burden hi
Roger oh yeah
mixing legal drama with the supernatural
this mystery thriller pits an undefeated
defense attorney against a devilish law
firm boss Kevin Lomax John Mill nice to
meet you
not only does Reeves hold his own
against Al Pacino he also brings some
much-needed control and poise to his
co-stars over the top but still great
performance
and it’s Keanu’s reserved portrayal of
Kevin Lomax that makes his descent into
a morality all the more effective let’s
talk tomorrow
you’re sure
number seven
Scott favored my own private Idaho and
everything I could make it as a real mom
you know fashion oriented modeling some
better at full-body poses though he also
played much ado about nothing villainous
Don John it’s Reeves turn in the loose
Shakespeare adaptation my own Private
Idaho that lands here the Gus Van Sant
flick stars Reeves as a street hustler
that’s also the object of River
Phoenix’s affections I’ll have sex with
God for money
yeah I know while the real-life friends
on-screen chemistry is undeniable
Keanu also surprises us with his
unassuming but poignant representation
of Scott’s inner turmoil I was planning
a change there was a time when I had the
need to learn from you my former and
psychedelic teacher and although I love
you more dearly than my dead father I
have to turn away number 6 Matt rivers
edge
Oh what the hell do you know
I don’t think he an you can’t do drama
think again in what’s considered as
Hollywood breakthrough Reeves plays a
reluctant teen hero struggling with his
conscience after he discovers one of his
friends has committed murder this idea
helping John out it’s not a good idea
you have a better idea
yeah tournament inspired by a real life
crime the critically acclaimed movie
gave the young thespian the chance to
show off his acting potential and
serious side I mean we knew Jamie right
and there she is
dead right there in front of us and even
that close we don’t even feel like
you’ve lost anything
I started number five John Constantine
Constantine
this is Constantine
ciao Constantine asshole it may not have
worked as a Hellblazer adaptation but
Constantine was still entertaining in
its own right thanks to some creepy
visuals supernatural themes and a
talented supporting cast
to truly belong
then there’s Keanu as the jaded
chain-smoking demon hunter who’s going
to hell but that doesn’t stop John from
trying his damndest to save his soul
resulting in a neo-noir action thriller
that puts Reeves heroic charisma and
characteristic detachment to very good
use I don’t believe in the devil should
believes in you
number four Ted Theodore Logan the Bill
and Ted franchise you are going to have
the most excellent adventure through
history there are just no other dudes
we’d want to take on excellent
adventures and bogus journeys then the
not too bright Ted and his most
triumphant best friend bill now your
dad’s going for it in your own room Ted
your stepmom is cute though Oh Ted
remember when I asked it to the prom
shut up Kiani was so stellar as the san
dimas teen that he’s still associated
with the slacker and considering how
well he pulls off Ted’s energy and
playfulness is there any wonder why yeah
put this loveable character into a world
where philosophy air guitar and
time-traveling mixed with bodacious
babes how’s it going these evil robots
Rufus and death and you’ve got the
makings of a cult icon excuse us
dude but your shoes are untied
number three Johnny Utah Point Break I
am an FBI agent I know man in DuBois ho
a special agent Johnny Utah quien who
proved he wasn’t just young dumb and
full of cum he could be fun serious and
kick ass too
torn between being an FBI agent and
joining the world of the ex-presidents
Reeves is as vital to Point Break as
Patrick Swayze well thanks for stepping
in another simply put it just wouldn’t
be the same without him
number two Jack Traven speed got nowhere
to go
while Point Break made us realize Keanu
wasn’t just a surfer dude say my Harry
speed proved he could also be an action
star as the buff buzzcut sporting SWAT
member Reeves brought machismo and sex
appeal to the fray I’ve heard
relationships based on intense
experiences never work
we’ll have to base it on sex n whatever
you see Jack Traven also showed how well
our star could play the hero ad the
quirky Sandra Bullock and maniacal
Dennis Hopper to the mix and you’ve got
an oscar-winning action flick that amped
up the suspense to become one of the 90s
biggest movies
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions you
need a license to buy a dog or drive a
car hell you need a license to catch a
fish but they’ll let in but me man

sticking me a pin in this thing every
night till you learn to leave folks
alone well I’m trying
not exactly blowing out of me yet but
pick you up around Senate do you know
what I’m talking about the matrix number
one Thomas Anderson neo the Matrix
trilogy though several other actors were
considered for the role of this computer
programmer slash hacker Reeves
ultimately won out it seems that you’ve
been living two lives as the every man
turned Savior in the matrix and its
sequels
Keanu’s neo offered up just the right
amount of natural wonder martial arts
bravado and trenchcoat coolness to make
us believe he’s the one shit
bolstered by incredible special effects
mind-bending sci-fi and philosophy the
role lets him do what he does best
