Luke Bracey replaces Keanu Reeves in the Johnny Utah role, and part of the problem is that he's a better but blander actor, so silly lines like, "I am an FBI Agent", and the moment when he screams while emptying his firearm into the air in frustration lack the smirk-inducing appeal of seeing Keanu do the same.
