How can people say that his acting is so bad? I mean, look at the character. How do you expect him to act? The character is edgy all the time. He has a bad gambling problem. Emotional problems. I don't see anyone else doing this character as well as him.

With that said, this movie is pretty good during the duration of the film, but towards the end it just dies. Too much slow motion and the worst splicing together of a song I've ever heard in cinema(Up in here during the game). Even the dialogue gets worse towards the end.

6/10

In every film i've seen Keanu Reeves in, he has no emotion whatsoever. His voice is flat & he has only one tone.
This movie, when he cried, that was the most emotion i've ever seen him play in any film. I just don't like him as an actor.

Keanu is truly an amazing actor, I have NO idea how people don't see this.

Keanu was excellent as Connor O'Neil and is a great actor. I don't understand why people don't understand that he has great acting abilities. He's a wonderful actor in my book and that's all that matters.
