It’s not another John Wick sequel, nor is it a typical Hollywood rom-com. Keanu Reeves is back — and this time, he’s showing the world a completely different side of himself. In the upcoming film Good Fortune, Reeves trades bullets and brooding stares for laughter, chaos, and unexpected warmth. Co-starring Sandra Oh and Seth Rogen, this film is already shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable releases of the year — a mix of action, humor, and heart that reminds audiences why Keanu is one of Hollywood’s most beloved enigmas.
In Good Fortune, Reeves plays a down-on-his-luck gambler, a man who seems to have lost everything — his money, his luck, and even his sense of purpose. But everything changes when he crosses paths with a mysterious woman played by Sandra Oh and an eccentric tech billionaire portrayed by Seth Rogen. The unlikely trio finds themselves entangled in a series of bizarre, often hilarious situations that blur the line between fate, friendship, and the pursuit of redemption.
Early critics’ reactions describe Good Fortune as “warm, witty, and weirdly touching.” It’s a rare combination — a film that doesn’t fit neatly into any genre box. There’s comedy, there’s action, there’s emotion — and, above all, there’s Keanu Reeves showing a comedic timing and vulnerability that fans rarely get to see.
For years, Reeves has been Hollywood’s stoic icon — the man who saved the Matrix, who avenged his dog in John Wick, and who became the internet’s most humble superstar. But in Good Fortune, he seems to strip away that mystique and lean into something far more human: imperfection. His character stumbles, fails, jokes, and feels deeply lost — and yet, he’s never been more relatable.
Sandra Oh brings her signature intelligence and emotional depth to the screen, playing a woman who might just be Reeves’s character’s ticket back to life. Their chemistry, according to those who’ve seen early screenings, is electric — the kind that doesn’t need forced romance or dramatic tension to work. Instead, it’s two broken souls connecting in the most unexpected way. Seth Rogen, on the other hand, delivers the film’s comedic edge, portraying a tech mogul with far too much money and not enough sense, balancing the film’s heart with his chaotic humor.
But what truly sets Good Fortune apart isn’t just its cast — it’s its tone. The film dances between slapstick absurdity and philosophical reflection. One moment you’re laughing at a ridiculous mishap, and the next, you’re hit with a line that makes you stop and think about luck, destiny, and the choices that define us.
Many have called this Keanu Reeves’s most daring move in years. After the intensity of John Wick: Chapter 4, the emotional depth of The Matrix Resurrections, and his growing cult status as “the internet’s boyfriend,” Reeves could have coasted on familiarity. Instead, he’s challenging himself — and his audience — to see him in a new light.
If early buzz is any indication, Good Fortune might be the surprise hit that breathes fresh life into Hollywood’s formulaic landscape. It’s funny, strange, emotional, and totally unpredictable — much like Keanu himself.
In a world where blockbuster heroes are often defined by muscles and explosions, Reeves reminds us that the greatest power lies in transformation. And as Good Fortune hits theaters, one thing is clear: Keanu Reeves doesn’t just make movies — he reinvents them.
