A man of limited acting range but of fascinating perspective. Between this and his speaking out against the rape culture of Hollywood, Keanu went from cool to "Whoa!" in about 30 seconds.

It's funny that you say he has a limited acting range. I'd always thought that but somehow also loved everything I saw him in. Weird combo, that!
I feel the same way. He only seems to hit one note.
If it's a note you like, though, no shame in enjoying it!
Come to think of it, it's kind of nice he's not your regular self-promoting Hollywood schmuck. I guess he's never tried to sell himself as something he's not.
I think he's genuine, and like Clint Eastwood, came to accept his range is more limited than his taste. Keanu is a deeper person than he is capable of playing on screen.
He was exactly the wrong choice for John Constantine. But, it's also obvious that Keanu has great taste in fiction/art/etc.. and was probably a fan of the character. He was a hot property and had his pick of projects, but Constantine he was most certainly not. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I'm no purist, but it didn't work.
His recent choices have been really interesting.
