Peter Travers Video Review: "Street Kings," "Smart People," "The Visitor"

April 10, 2008 5:02 PM

In this week's video review, Peter Travers goes over an odd weekend at the cinema. If you want star power, there's the action-packed Street Kings (starring Keanu Reeves) and the talky, quirky Smart People (with Ellen Page and Sarah Jessica Parker). But the real winner might just be The Visitor, an indie with a lot of intelligence and a great performance from character actor Richard Jenkins. Click above for the complete scoop from the Rolling Stone film critic.

Why do the most illiterate people always write the longest comments?

truth | April 12, 2008 2:08 AM

The worst actors list
should include orlando Bloom , Vin Diesel

Neo | April 11, 2008 5:08 PM

my point is not wheather Keanu is Great are not it's about how he is crusifed as the worst actor his the poster boy for being the worst actor and before he comes out with any movie there already sayng he sux it's more of a witch hunt the critics have written him off since Dracula , I just saw street kings and keanu brings it and if you liked Training Day you'll like street kings,
but i will say just like George clooney had that Bobble head problem in From dusk till dawn . he fixed that in out of sight and Keanu has this thing were he moves his head side to side when his talking and he used to use his hands alot in Hardball keanu in his earlier work was to stagy like he was acting in theater and film acting is different less is more you talk with your eyes and it;s about beinnig vonrable ,Keanu is reminecent to Clint Eastwood ,his stoic and his strength is his sincerity , but alot of thos actors i listed below are getting better just like keanu sometimes these people that win oscars get complacent they get lazy like the have done it all , Keanu has never had that so he's always trying to perfect his craft and he keeps growing and gets better as he goes... there will always be Haters i'v been studing acting for 30 yrs and when people say that his voice bothers them then thats just ignorant everything bothers those people and you can't change that and i'm not trying to ,so think whatever Keanu Rules !!!!!!

That list of actors that, you claim, are worse than Keanu isn't saying much. None of them are considered great actors. Seriously, Hayden Christiansen? How is this a point that Keanu is a good actor?

The Truth | April 11, 2008 11:58 AM

Actors that are Worst than Keanu Reeves -
1 ) Hayden cristinsen
2) Paul walker
3) Josh harnett
4) channing tatum
5)Ryan Reynolds
6) The Rock
7) Freddie Prinze
8) Ben affleck
9) Ryan phillipe
10)Jessica Alba
11)lindsey lohan
Just to name a few that are worst than the underated Keanu

peter you got it wrong this time giving street kings 2stars it's at 2and a half are 3 stars , to follow the line of the rest of the sheep ,you hated the movie simply because of Keanu , isaw the movie with an open mind i don't expect Keanu to be Russel Crowe
He has his own style ,weather you like it are Keanu is the Steve McQueen of his Generaton.. to think that one can't improve over the years of harsh criticism it's just ignorance, like Al pacino Said " you learn more from the mistakes that you make " Keanu has come along way .Steve McQeen was no Marlon Brando Just like Keanu is no Russel Crowe There Differn't ,Keanu is simply all the critics whipping boy i could name 1000
actors that are worst in acting than Keanu one of the most underrate actors since 1993 and on he was getting it before that was his learnig on the Job 1985-1993 aftr little Buddha and afer River died he grew up , but for every matrix there is a Hardball but i feel he is a Great Actor now reminicent to Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson,Gene Hacman and by the way bad actors Dont' carry Franchise's

Thank you for drawing welcome attention to The Visitor and Richard Jenkins' performance. One of my friends told me it was his favorite film he saw at South by Southwest 2008, and I can't wait to see it!
