Despite an intriguing premise, this film about a hitman dealing with dementia offers little artistic merit
What is it with Michael Keaton and hitmen? The first feature he directed—the little-seen The Merry Gentleman —is about a contract killer, and so is this week’s Knox Goes Away, his sophomore film. Both characters have moral dilemmas that reveal them as good-hearted despite being cold-blooded killers.
As a filmmaker, Keaton has a no-frills approach that seems in opposition to his acting style. As an actor, he always has a glimmer of danger in his eyes, something that announces his characters are much more than meets the eye. As a filmmaker, he doesn’t add any sparks or flair. The color palette is dull, the costumes are unmemorable, the camera positions predictable and unenticing. There’s nothing on-screen to capture the audience’s imagination beyond the plot and performances.
