Keanu Reeveshas been making headlines lately thanks to his performance as Shadow the Hedgehog inSonic the Hedgehog 3, the video game adaptation that hasgrossed over $335 million at the worldwide box officein only a few weeks. He’s also become known for his role asJohn Wick, the iconic action hero withfour movies, a spin-off show, andanother movie on the way. However, two years before he first suited up as the legendary assassin, Reeves starred in one of his biggest bombs ever. Reeves features alongsideBojana NovakovicandAdelaide ClemensinGeneration Um…the 2012 R-rated drama with an astounding0% from criticsand a 23% score from audiences onRotten Tomatoes, and also happens to be#9 on Starz’s global charts.
Generation Um…was written and directed byMark Mann, and the film follows three adults in New York City over a single day filled with sex, drugs, and indecision.Generation Um…was Mann’s second directorial outing after first helmingFinishing Heaven, a 2008 documentary that’s also set in New York. He has not directed anything in the 13 years since his work onGeneration Um…,and he has also not been tapped for any projects that are currently in the works. It’s a good thing for Reeves thatJohn Wickcame only a few years after this, because although many people certainly didn’t seeGeneration Um…,earning a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes would have been hard to shakeifChad Stahelskihadn’t come along and worked with him to redefine action movies again after he did withThe Matrix.
