100 Greatest Movie Characters: 90

"Whoa"

90. Neo
The Matrix


"The Matrix" is a bevy of pseudo-philosophical bullshit that nobody should care about and most people seem to treat as really fucking deep or whatever. Nevertheless, this (the first one, at least) is still a classic movie because of good special effects and well-made action sequences.

While we're talking about shitty things, everyone gives shit to Keanu Reeves because he can't act. Well, he can't (he once performed a Shakespearen play and added more swordfights). He can't emote and he overacts almost as much as Nicolas Cage. But if the world needs saving, he's always on hand. And he'll almost always look cool doing it, so whatever.

Defining moment: Stopping bullets with his hand and making anyone watching for the first time go "holy shit."
