Shortly before Jordan Peele passed the horror in 2017 ExitHe worked with his long-time comedy co-site Keegan-Michael Key to write and produce his first film in 2016 Keanu. At first glance, Keanu Seems like a typical Action Comedy film that was in green because of the success that the duo saw with Sketch Comedy series. Key & Peele, Whether they actually wanted to make a film with feature film. But it only takes a few minutes to see how easy your skills are due to it Keanu Actually, despite its ridiculous premise.
It starts with a cartel cat
Keanu’s The opening scene introduces us to the title cat, but at that time it is known as Iglesias and lives in a non -mentioned warehouse that is occupied by a Mexican drug cartel. Are called two assassins as “allentown Brothers” (represented by Keegan-Michael Kay and Jordan Peele In heavy make -up) Iglesias shoot out of the scene and put the place up in front of the Rell (Jordan Peele) button and leaves no survivors. Rell, who is in a pit of the depression after being unloaded by his long -time girlfriend, welcomes the cat to his house, calls him Keanu and the two are immediately connected.
Now Rell’s cousin Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key), his wife Hannah (Nia Long) is forced to have a fun weekend for himself, while she is a suspicious weekend trip with Spencer (Rob Huebel), a family that clearly wants to take a step.
Clarence and Rell start their weekend with a “Liam NeesonS ”film, before returning to Rell’s place, just to find out that the house was searched and Keanu is missing.
Rell and Clarence confront him that the person who was looking for space in Rells after his neighbor Hulka (Will Forte) is looking for answers what she leads to the leader of the Blips (Reste of the Bloods and the Crips), known as Cheddar (Method Man ).
Introduction of Tech-Tonic and Shark Tank
Rell and Clarence use Hulkas Intel to infiltrate a strip club called Hot Party Vixens (with the unfortunate acronym HPV) and to confront Cheddar with Keanu’s whereabouts. When they realized that they acted hastily, they need a cover story, so lies that they deal with the Allentown gang and do not know about the massacre that took place before the film. Rell decides that his street name is technically and technology, and Clarence, the company roar he is, informs everyone that his street name is Shark Tank.
Tech-Tonic and Shark Tank agree to train the blips of a drug run in exchange for Keanu (which was renamed Cheddar in New Jack), and they have absolutely no idea what they get involved in. After a botched submission of a new party drug called “Holy Sh*t”, Clarence/Tech-Tonic remains visibly traumatized and blows his cover almost as a hardened gang member, while Clarence/Shark Tank hugs the gang lifestyle because he is because he is Is because he is because he is because he is because he is I never had so much fun as an adult. Clarence fully comprises the gang’s ethics code and at the same time introduces the blips into George Michaels’ musical styling, while Rell just wants to get Keanu under control so that he can return to his normal life.
However, the matters are complicated when Cheddar decreases on the original deal and it is for another attack.
Top -Tier chemistry between key and peel
An important aspect of Keanu This distinguishes it from other action comedies that fall into this steering house, the chemistry, which has long been established between Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, who had a proven track record at the time to deduct each other’s humor. While there are several cases Keanu Where you have to expose a healthy amount of unbelief, as when Clarence shows how faultless he can flip back, these sequences never seem to be exaggerated. And although every single situation in which Rell and Clarence are “in no way” let them say, the inherent ridicule of the film works because both characters are as surprised as the audience.
My favorite scene, which drives this point home, takes place after an epic gang in connection with a gang, as Rell, who does not know how to drive, steals a car so that he can transport Keanu home. On the one hand, it is incredibly difficult to believe that a man without experience could drive behind the steering wheel so well under the circumstances. Conversely, it was incredibly refreshingly to know that Rell’s hearing was affected when Bacon Diaz (Luiz Guzman), the antitrust leader in his back seat, fired a few laps near his facial, which is irritated to any end.
The ultimate buddy comedy
Keanu is a unique action comedy because it is not only funny, but also has enormous production values. Every outrageous case of violence is immediately compensated for by the joke between its main characters, which at that time goes far beyond its clover as comedians who know well what they are doing. And to think that the catalyst who triggered the entire event chain is a cat called Keanu.
At the time of this letter you can stream Keanu To max.
