Six Years Later, Keanu Reeves' Flop 'Siberia' Is a Streaming Hit

Siberia, RussiaThu Nov 21 2024
Believe it or not, a Keanu Reeves movie that bombed six years ago is now a hit on streaming! The movie, called "Siberia, " is a crime thriller that didn't get great reviews when it came out. Critics gave it a low 12% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences weren't too happy either, giving it a 16% rating. The movie tells the story of a diamond dealer who gets mixed up in some shady business in Russia. It's not your typical Keanu Reeves action flick; he's known for movies like "The Matrix" and "John Wick, " but he's also done romances and even Shakespeare adaptations! "Siberia" had a limited run in theaters and was soon forgotten. But recently, it found new life on Paramount+, climbing up their top 10 chart to number 7. That's pretty impressive, considering it's not a new movie or a holiday favorite. It seems Keanu Reeves' star power is still going strong, even six years later. He's been in some big movies since "Siberia, " like "Toy Story 4" and "Bill & Ted Face the Music. " Maybe people are finally giving "Siberia" a chance now that they can watch it at home.
