Funniest thing about this movie is that, if this was the only recent movie you would have seen of Keanu Reeves, you would have thought the man is too old to still be starring in action movies. You can almost see the wires here, or the bad edits to hide him switching with stuntmen. He looks so old and immobile. Carrie too, the flying scene was... so so bad. Just a bunch of ropes holding an old woman in mid air (no offense to Carrie, she still looks great and im sure she can still portray a badass in a better movie)

..............But this was literally filmed in between keanu releasing movies for probably the most well known ongoing action franchise...where he looks like the most competent action star out there.... (John Wick...)

I know right. I couldn’t believe how bad the choreography was.

They actually made him look his age. Crazy. Was so bad
