Actors directing movies is a dicey proposition, at best. For
every Ben Affleck or Clint Eastwood, who turn in some of the best work of their
career behind the camera, you get Nicolas Cage directing “Sonny,” or Madonna
forcing “W.E.” upon the world. So when we heard that Ted “Theodore” Logan
himself, Keanu Reeves was going to helm a martial arts actioner, the news left
us puzzled. But you know what, his first directorial effort, “Man of Tai Chi,”
which just hit Blu-ray and DVD, is a damn good time, and delivers everything you
want out of this type of movie.
