Keanu Reeves has not traditionally been an actor you hire to chew the scenery. If you want a big, flashy, attention-getting performance, you want a Nicolas Cage or maybe a Rami Malek: someone who can rant madly with the whites of his eyes showing. Reeves is more of a dependable workhorse you build a movie around, and who reliably befriends the entire crew. There’s nothing wrong with that. Different people have different skills.
