Keanu Reeves<\/a>‘ Constantine substitute has just debuted on Rotten Tomatoes after its TIFF<\/a> premiere, earning a solid score. Released in 2005, Constantine remains one of Reeves’ most memorable films<\/strong>, with the actor playing an occult expert who faces off against demons.<\/p>\n

Reeves, of course, has a number of other notable titles under his belt, including ’90s classics like Point Break (1991), Speed (1994), and The Matrix (1999). In the 2000s, Reeves’ career took a turn, with Constantine serving as one of the few memorable titles he starred in, save for two new Matrix movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With 2014’s John Wick, Reeves was thrust back into the spotlight as an action hero<\/strong>, and the three Wick sequels were all big hits. Although the Ballerina spinoff underperformed this summer, John Wick 5 is now in development<\/a>, with Reeves potentially reprising his role.<\/p>\n

Reeves has several movies on the horizon, including a possible Constantine 2<\/a>, which remains in development. Before a return to this dark world of angels and demons, however, Reeves will appear in a lighthearted comedy, which takes a very different approach to angels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Good Fortune Is Off To A Respectable Start On Rotten Tomatoes<\/p>\n

Good Fortune<\/a>‘s Rotten Tomatoes score is here, and the new Reeves film has had a worthy debut. Directed by and starring Aziz Ansari, the fantastical comedy movie features Reeves as Gabriel, an inept angel who finds himself entwined in the lives of a venture capitalist and a struggling gig worker<\/strong>. Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, and Sandra Oh also star. <\/p>\n

Following its premiere at TIFF, Good Fortune has debuted with a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> from 12 reviews<\/strong>. Though this score is sure to fluctuate as more reviews are added, the film currently has a “fresh” designation. No Popcornmeter score is available just yet, but one will take shape following the movie’s October 17 theatrical release.<\/p>\n

What This Means For Good Fortune<\/p>\n

Good Fortune has faced a long road to release, suffering delays due to a variety of factors, including the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike. A 75% score may not be the sign of a glowing critical response, but it does suggest that the film is generally well-liked and successful in its storytelling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her Good Fortune review<\/a> for ScreenRant, Rachel LaBonte awards the film a seven out of 10, praising the humor and the unexpected twists and turns of the story while struggling with the heavy-handed messaging. It’s Reeves himself, however, who emerges as a true highlight. As LaBonte writes:<\/p>\n

\n

Reeves is perfect for the role<\/strong>, since he somehow manages to seem both impressively wise and endearingly naive. Just try not to break out in a huge smile while watching him excitedly exclaim, \u201cChicken nuggies!\u201d It’s a far cry from his latest John Wick appearance in Ballerina earlier this year. He\u2019s a joy to watch every time he comes onscreen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The cast is a major point of praise across many reviews, with Reeves frequently cited as a strong point. The movie is said to generally succeed with its balance of humor and heart<\/strong>, though some narrative choices are proving somewhat divisive.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear how Good Fortune<\/strong> will fare at the box office, but its Rotten Tomatoes debut and early reviews suggest it could end up being a crowd-pleaser. Though Reeves will now be best known to many as an action hero, there’s evidently reason to check out his latest role as a well-meaning but bumbling angel.<\/p>\n
