Lionsgate Premiere

Over the past four decades, Keanu Reeves has gone from playing meatheads to being an action star to becoming one of the internet's favorite actors. Along the way, he's made plenty of critically acclaimed films and major box-office hits, but he's also starred in some infamous disasters. Setting aside the Sad Keanu memes and the flicks we genuinely love, what are the worst Keanu Reeves movies ever made?


To find out, we once again turned to Rotten Tomatoes and the site's ranked list of every Keanu Reeves movie. We focused on the "rotten" films at the bottom—those that earned less than 60 percent of critical approval. Some of these movies are considered campy classics while others are regarded as underappreciated gems. And then, of course, there are the films that Reeves himself would probably ask you to skip. Read on to see which maligned movies made the cut, and for more film flops from a big star, check out The Worst Will Smith Movie of All Time, According to Critics.
