It looks like the man is trying here, I'm not too sure if he pulls it off too well. Don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy a lot of his work, but a great thespian the man is not. Maybe it's his monotone voice or the deadness behind his eyes, but it doesn't always come off well. Now, he does manage to scream, freak out and indeed, act terrified at times, but there is always and I mean always, something off about his performances. ![]() Can Reeves pull it off? The man has been labeled emotionless in a lot of his film roles, so this would seem like it would require him to dig down and actually act. A role that is really against type for him. He did a kick ass job in John Wick, now I was going to see if he would be able to play a helpless cheat who is terrified for his life. ![]() Everything else didn't matter to me, I wanted to see Keanu Reeves in movies again. Did Roth coming back from "retirement" encourage me to see the film? Was it the deranged sexual element that would draw me in? No, it was Keanu Reeves my friend. The Green Inferno, which was actually completed in 2013, but held up until now, and the erotic horror thriller Knock Knock, which is a remake of 1977 film Death Game. Almost ten years later and we have not one, but two feature films from Roth. He's produced, starred in and wrote a few, but never touched the camera again, except for the sniper film that plays in Inglorious Basterds and the Thanksgiving segment from Grindhouse. In fact, he hasn't directed another movie since then. After the less than stellar box office return of Hostel Part II, Eli Roth blamed the internet and swore off making films for a long time.
