The more times I watched the first one the more holes I found that I had problems with. I dis****ed the second and refuse to watch the third.
Take that as you will.

As for accusations of plot holes, most of these accusations are never backed up, and the few I have seen elaborated on have been, like the OP, people not knowing what is going on.
I might have to watch it a sixth time to remeber the problems I had with it. I doubt I will give it the time though. Bad Keanue Reeves movies are like a thorn stuck under my right thumb

They guy's talent for showing up in very good films does seem to mitigate his lack of talent for acting, it's true...
That is about the simplest way to put it.
Note that in my initial quote that I said bad Keanue Reeves movies and not all Keanue Reeves movies.

He's not bad at acting, he just always plays himself. What film has he been in where his role has been anything other than an ordinary guy, possibly in extraordinary circumstances? Sometimes the role calls for someone who doesn't appear to be acting.
The problem is that he doesnot come across as natural. He forces all his motions, facial expression and so on. I do not get into him, but if you dig him then so be it.
I think he is better suited for stage acting.

Enemy Mine is a much more powerfull "sci-fi" movie with much better acting to boot.

This guy pretty much sums up my thoughts on KR. The other side of the argument is also tackled on this page.
Adam: "What do all of the four of his ôgreatö films have in common? None really required true displays of acting range. You could possibly even argue that Bill & TedÆs Excellent Adventure is his best part. Why? Because it plays to his strength, playing a dimwit. Even in The Matrix the best I could say about him was, æwell, he wasnÆt ****ty this time.Æ I still contest that in Matrix Revolutions the reason they blinded Neo before Trinity died is because Keanu couldnÆt cry on command. Just saying. Reeves doesnÆt stand out to me as a great actor for many reasons, but one is that he isnÆt an actor I get excited about seeing in films. When I hear Denzel Washington or Christian Bale has a new film out I am interested. When I hear Keanu has a new flick out I ask, ôis it called Dude, whereÆs my accent?ö You bring up Dracula but his performance was arguably the worst part of the film. And while I do like The DevilÆs Advocate, mainly for Al PacinoÆs great role, Reeves is the real boob in the film. Sorry, Charlize, youÆll just have to deal with it. (And you call them boobies, really?) Alas, that is another debate for another day.
The question at hand is æis Keanu Reeves a great actorÆ, not æhas Keanu Reeves made four great films in 20 years.ö The biggest accomplishment of his career may be that he was smart enough to not do Speed 2. This is an actor who has been nominated for 7 Razzie Awards. ThatÆs Steven Seagal territory. But maybe he is a great actor, he has been nominated for a **** load of MTV Movie Awards. ThatÆs gotta count for something right? *Cough*"
On another KR note, I just came across a rumor page saying that there is a Cowboy Beebop movie in the makings and KR is rumored to play the part of Spike. A role that he may be perfect for.
