Yes, the movie was saved from Keanu ruinization. Now that's great casting and filmmaking.
His bland turn in Dracula was precisely what was called for. He was the upright, boring, English alternative to a life of vampiric passion and music.
Ah, well. FFC's BS's Drac is not for everyone. As I said, the performances are decidely off-center, and that can be off-putting for many people. I can see how such folks might not get emotionally involved with the story. The performances are downright weird in fact. To me, however, it's all part of a heavily-stylized masterpiece.
