I think it's a hunger for something like the matrix with a budget and a universal love for KR .. and although the films are nothing special narratively they check enough of the boxes to sustain an appetite in people to keep flocking to see them
any other lead actor the series lasts no more than 2 films

Partially Reeves. But overall there's been many attempts to (modernize?) The action movie. But I think they've also Keyed on the fact you have a dead set western foundation in the whole series.
They've really pinned all the things that makes all the great actions movies great and didn't muck it up with too much CGI or completely way out there gun fu tactics.
I know its not realistic but the action comes off realistic AF . Save maybe the bullet proof 3 piece suit.
Love the series. Might be the best action series of all time if it doesn't jump the shark.
