Before 'John Wick,' Keanu Reeves Was a Clumsy Killer in This Dark Comedy Gem

The resurrection of Keanu Reeves post-John Wick was so swift and thunderous that it's become actively difficult to imagine a time when he wasn't in the Hall of Fame of Badass Action Icons. This isn't to claim we can only see him as a killing machine, as he's clearly proven his deceptive range in the past decade, being surprisingly convincing as both a Canadian daredevil toy and as a pretentious parody of himself. Reeves' current persona is such a convincing about-face that it's made us forget the past times he's played killers, albeit less successful ones. The best instance of this was in I Love You to Death, Lawrence Kasdan's largely forgotten farce in which Reeves plays a burnout loser who spectacularly sucks at being a killer-for-hire in one of the funniest performances of his career.
