Keanu Reeves Has To Figure Out Who Hates Him In The Outcome Trailer

Keanu Reeves plays a Hollywood star trying to break back into the A-list in a new movie from director Jonah Hill.

Jonah Hill‘s second fiction feature as director following 2018’s Mid90s asks us to swallow a big proposition: that somebody out there hates Keanu Reeves.

Of course, it helps that Keanu isn’t Keanu here, he’s playing Hollywood action star Reef Hawk (10/10, no notes), trying to come back to his career after five years in the wilderness, only to run smack bang into a blackmail attempt. As you do. Let’s roll the trailer.

Outcome Trailer

What’s the plot?

As the official synopsis tells us:

Outcome is a dark comedy that centres on Reef Hawk (Reeves), a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after he is extorted with a mysterious video that’s sure to shatter his image and end his career. With the support of his lifelong besties Kyle (Diaz) and Xander (Bomer), along with his crisis lawyer Ira (Hill), Reef embarks on a soul-searching journey to make amends with anyone he could have possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer. Co-writer and director Hill brings a unique lens to Reef’s wild but spiritually cleansing, nostalgic and eye-opening trip down memory lane, where confronting his past might be the only way to rescue his future.

What’s the vibe?

Keanu does good soul-searching, and Outcome looks like it’s going to be a philosophical kind of black comedy, which is an interesting angle. All else aside, that’s a hell of a supporting cast ol’ Superbad has roped in. I’m keen to see what he does with them.
