Hey, there's another actor who is VERY limited... Arnold Schwarzeneggar!!! The only role he can play well is an emotionless robot. Still, my girl argued that his film "Eraser" was better than the movie "Speed."
Can someone explain that one to me? I could understand thinking Reeves was a bad actor, but as action movies go, I personally felt "Speed" was a pretty good film. The action sequences were intense, the characters were written well, and the audience was kept on the edge of their seats the entire time. "Eraser," on the other hand, was just another stupid "Arnold is an unstoppable hero" movie with a tired, "witness needs protected from bad guys" plot. It's no wonder his career as an action hero began a downhill slope with that movie.
