DUBAI: In this black comedy movie co-written and directed by Jonah Hill, Keanu Reeves is Reef Hawk — a beloved actor who’s been famous since he was a kid and has a reputation as an all-round great guy. He’s taken a break from acting for five years — ostensibly to build his new home, but actually to get sober after his long-term drug addiction; an addiction that few knew about outside of his high-school friends Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), and his crisis lawyer Ira (Hill, in great form).

Turns out his heroin addiction isn’t the only thing Reef has managed to keep out of the public sphere; he’s also an obnoxious narcissist who’s consistently let down those closest to him (though Kyle and Xander offer some evidence that this wasn’t always the case). And when Ira receives news that someone intends to blackmail Reef with a video (the contents of which are initially unknown) unless they receive $15 million, Reef must face up to his past misdemeanors and embark on an ‘apology tour,’ seeking out people with reason to hate him and trying to make amends (while actually trying to work out who the blackmailer is).
