Man of Tai Chi (2013, directed by Keanu Reeves)

Rewatching POINT BREAK the other day, I found myself wondering what Keanu Reeves has been up to lately and realising that I kind of miss the guy, both as a movie star and as an action star (wouldn't mind giving SPEED another viewing as well). Imagine my delight when, a few hours later, I learned of the existence of MAN OF TAI CHI, in which Reeves not only makes a long-awaited return to the world of the action flick but also makes his directorial debut. A trailer may be found here:

What d'yer reckon, then? I'm hoping for a modern day ENTER THE DRAGON with shades of THE EXPENDABLES, KILL BILL, THE MATRIX, THE RAID: REDEMPTION and so on and so forth, and this trailer looks pretty promising. Little hand says it's time to rock and roll.

That's a pretty awful list of inspirations.

Does Keanu Reeves want to be made an honorary Chinaman?

Sure (KILL BILL aside), but while not being great (or even especially good) films they nonetheless have their moments and their interesting elements - which is why I merely ask for shades of them.
