If Keanu Reeves has today become a pop culture icon, his career has not been marked by success. But it’s not necessarily his fault: he participated in one of his biggest failures because of… a false signature.
A solid gold “friend”…
Keanu Reeves has established himself over the years as one of the essential figures in pop culture. The Canadian-American actor has made numerous iconic film appearances, with roles in the trilogy Matrix, Constantine, Speed, Dracula or Point Break. But it is even more recently that the actor stood out with the saga John Wickin which he has played the title role since 2014.
However, Keanu Reeves’ career has also had more difficult times. In 2000, he played in The Watcher, a serial killer film dismantled by critics upon its release, which is one of the actor’s greatest failures. At the time, he did not want to promote the film and explained that he initially did not want to participate in the project.
I never found the scenario interesting, but one of the friends had forged my signature on the contract. I couldn’t prove he did it, and I didn’t want to be sued, so I had to make the film.
Worst Keanu Reeves movie
Even though Keanu Reeves took on the role of the killer in this film, when we see the final result, we understand the actor’s initial feeling. Critics and the press alike agreed that the film was bad, which directly impacted its commercial success. Finally, The Watcher only grossed $47 million at the box office, on an estimated budget of $30 million. The presence of Keanu Reeves in the casting, nor that of Oscar-winning actor James Spader, did not save the film. Years later, Keanu Reeves told IndieWire: “It was a disaster. I hate this movie. It’s horrible. It is a disaster”. That is clear.
