“I read the script. It’s really, really cool. As much as it’s the same world as the other three films, it’s just deeper,” he said.

“It’s much deeper in terms of the code of the assassin and the relationship that he has with one character in particular who I think Mr. Watanabe is playing… is really the heart and soul of it,” Reeves said.
