Remember: my (self-sculpted out) "niche" is "What do I need this crap for?"
I only checked to see if the vocals were audible. ("20 takes," my ass!)
and '...Scanner Darkly' are the only two movies Keanu made that are unreal or surreal enough to make his woodenness seem intended.

So help me: I want to be fair to be Keanu (I haven't seen "Johnny Mnemonic," though the story's its based on, by William Gibson, is great), but I don't NOT know what you're talking about.
He was good in something else, wasn't he? "The Matrix." Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. He got the job done and the millions of 'Matrix' fans might well want no other. I did also forget that I love 'Bill and Ted' -- who else could have played that role?
So, yes. He has had his moments in the sun.
