In fact, Adkins may arguably take credit for the finest Steven Seagal conversation ever given since no one has ever been able to persuade the contentious actor to discuss his career in such detail.
In honour of the theatrical debut of John Wick: Chapter 4, Adkins and co-star Keanu Reeves have conducted a two-part, in-depth interview.
Reeves discusses his previous action films in the first portion of the documentary, giving particular attention to Point Break, Speed, and The Matrix.
The 45-minute conversation is one of Reeves’ greatest performances ever. Zoom is used to film Adkins’ DIY programme, and you can see that it’s two friendly coworkers sharing tales.
Keanu appears to enjoy the chance to have an important discussion about his acting profession.
He acknowledges that Kathryn Bigelow, the director of Point Break, lobbied the studio in his favour and notes that he wasn’t anyone’s first choice for the role.
He discusses how difficult the foot pursuit was and how skilled Patrick Swayze was as a fighter, skydiver, and surfer.
Additionally, he discusses how serious neck surgery he had just as he began his preparation for The Matrix almost put an end to his profession in action.
It’s filled with interesting storylines, and Reeves hasn’t even discussed the sequels or John Wick yet—even though Adkins has hinted at a second instalment.
