Keanu Reeves makes directorial debut with modern kung fu film

Acting skills (or lack thereof) aside, this is a really great guy.

I hope he'd work better behind the scenes.

Remember his line in the Matrix. "I know Kung Fu".

He was born in Lebanon, not Canada.

lol

Probably good for killing time with a miniature screen on an airplane, though.

big fan of kung fu but not wire-fu so i hope its not that kind of a movie...

" "Hopefully it's better than his acting." That is not setting the bar very high..."

His acting persona is pretty consistent, from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" through "Matrices", it's been nearly the same. Oh, and "Point Break " : "I AM AN FBI AGENT"… flat, 2D, dude!

Let me guess:

There is kung fu fighting.

Those cats are fast as lightning.

And it is a little bit frightening.

They do it with expert timing.

sounds like an interesting film

Keanu Reeves makes directorial debut with modern kung fu film

"Modern" the story sounds like a pretty standard chop socky to me.

Have to admit, he is kinda packing on some serious weight, starting to remind me of Val Kilmer a bit.

Gentlemen, remember that Mr. Reeves is primarily action eye candy; his acting abilities are secondary. I wish him well with his directorial debut.

Hopefully it's better than his acting.

Some actors, like Sean Connery improve with age.

It's sad to say that Keanu Reeves isn't amongst them.
