Now that he's back, Keanu Reeves' difficult decade between 2004 and 2014 seems like a distant memory. He broke the dry spell with John Wick, which has spawned a massively successful franchise that's set to continue with a fifth installment. A decade earlier, Reeves was, of course, best known for starring in the Matrix trilogy. However, after the landmark sci-fi series concluded in 2003, he entered a rather uncertain period during which he mostly starred in small-scale projects, but also headlined a couple of tent poles, and made his feature directorial debut. The big-budget movies he did during this time — The Day the Earth Stood Still and Constantine — underperformed at the box office. His directorial debut, The Man of Tai Chi, performed poorly as well.
