Knox Goes Away

A beautiful, engaging and delicate movie. Should have been in the Oscar top 5

Great film. The plot may not be particularly elaborate, but: great acting, great characters, great lines... Michael Keaton and Al Pacino, such a chemistry. As a director, Keaton reveals the style and the composure of the classics. Made me think of Eastwood, in many ways.

If you like Michael Keaton he's great in this. There s a few plot holes along the way but overall very enjoyable.

I really liked it—great script and pacing. You'll enjoy it more if you don’t overanalyze how accurately it portrays the reality of dementia. I’m no expert, but I was struggling not to question whether someone with this specific disease would actually be able to function the way he did.

I really liked it. Watching the parts unfold. Sensing the fight against time. trying to maintain the objectives.

Slow, complex, layered, not what I expected it to be - but a good movie regardless.

The story of a contract killer with a degenerative disease who seeks peace and redemption, while not extraordinary, has reason to be sustainable in its 115 minutes of running time. Michael Keaton's first effort as actor, director and producer is acceptable enough.

Knox é um assassino de aluguel que descobre que tem demência e a doença está progredindo muito rápido. Ele, então, decide se aposentar e ajeitar a vida do seu filho e ex-esposa. Porém, um erro em um trabalho e o filho ter matado um homem que estuprou sua neta, vai levá-lo a elaborar um plano para atingir os seus objetivos. Segundo trabalho na direção de Keaton, mostra uma direção segura que conduz muito bem a história. O elenco é muito bom, mas é Keaton que se destaca, passando muito bem os momentos de confusão do personagem. E o esforço que ele faz para manter as aparências com as pessoas ao redor. E é bem interessante ter como Grilo Falante o Al Pacino. Um suspense e policial bem competente.

Great script, acting and surprisingly enough features a unique but totally immersing and effective direction, which is not something you would expect from a suspense thriller movie, but its totally welcoming.

Even though the script is kinda weak. Michael Keaton’s performance and direction actually makes this thriller somewhat worth watching
