20 greatest Keanu Reeves action scenes

A man of action

In a career spanning over 40 years, Keanu Reeves has had his fair share of cinematic hits and misses. His latest film, John Wick, is definitely one of the former and in the case of the titular hero, sort of literally, as Reeves plays a vengeful hitman who's not afraid of getting his hands dirty.

What Explosion?

The Film: Chain Reaction (1996)

The Action Scene: If there's one thing Reeves loves doing, it's spitting in the face of physics. In The Matrix, there's a reason he can defy pesky things like gravity, but there's basically no reason for his ability to out-race a hydrogen explosion in this action flick. Hopping onto his trusty motorbike, his student Eddie speeds away from an exploding lab and survives, despite the mushroom-cloud detonation. Brilliant.

Naturally, Neo does most of the fighting, using his God-like powers to stop bullets mid-air and then beating the crap out of his opponents without even breaking a sweat. Now this guy's cool...
