Knox Goes Away (2024)
Michael Keaton's film "Knox Goes Away" is a modern film noir of a hitman losing his mind to a disease while finishing one last job. To say it is a exceptional film would be an understatement. The film is Keatons's second directorial debut, and it's a stunning film noir of a hitman losing his battle with dementia. The film also stars Marsha Gay Harden, and Al Pacino in two smaller roles that shine in this film. It just opened this Friday and I rushed to see it because Keaton is such a fine actor. But what he is too is a better director. The performances in the film are top notch and one that really show their talent. Keaton himself is fabulous as well. His expressive face say's all, and Keaton lets the performers do their thing without hinderance. The acting flows naturally, and you can tell Keaton knows how to get good performances from his actors. Being an actor helps and in this film we see that less is more. The script is precise, and well plot
