I like Keanu Reeves just fine as a film star, and self aware person. I have to disagree that Tom Cruise can act though. Never have liked any of his roles, and trust me, I've had to sit through all of them. I won't say that he is a terrible actor, but I never lose the fact that he's Tom Cruise throughout the movie. Good actors tend to become someone else on the screen, and I rarely acknowledge them as anything but that character till the movie is done, but Tom, nope, just Tom.

Hell, even Keanu became Neo.

(For some reason I keep trying to read Keanu as Key-new, even though I know it's not...)
