“He is so solemn, detached and uninvolved he makes Mr. Spock look like Hunter S. Thompson at closing time.”
I then read Tom Charity’s review of the same film on CNN.com. It is interesting (and perhaps even cautionary) to note that he too was moved to make a comparison between Keanu and Mr. Spock:
“If you’re going to cast a top star as an alien being, Reeves seems a solid choice. He’s always been able to process human emotion with a Spock-like detachment.”
