"Knox Goes Away" is the kind of low-key thriller that's much more into studying its main character than delivering anything that resembles nail-biting tension.
Not only an Entertaining movie coz of an interesting medical condition (CJD) intertwined with a professional hitman career,but also for illustrating anger, love and forgiveness. Worth watching... The ending is very emotional... what better could a father would do for his family...It also had some life lessons, family dynamics, and a little humor along the way...
The script is written by Gregory Poirier who pens a story as much about one man's mental conflict as the crimes that unfold on screen... Using weeks like chapters, Poirier's story follows John as he races against two clocks. One sees him trying to pull the ultimate cover-up in an effort to protect his son before the dogged detective can put the pieces together. The other sees him personally facing his cognitive decline, something Keaton captures realistically and with empathy. He truly is the film's anchor, bringing strength, vulnerability, and nuance to the central character...
Michael Keaton hasn't lost a step it his best performance since Birdman...He powers the role seamlessly that when it comes to his business he reminds of facts coz he respects his masters & relatively conveys of what's the role of father when it comes to family business.... Good job by James Marsden, and who doesn't love Al Pacino?! Rest of cast were also good!!!
Overall a worthy piece of off beat movie that anchors you in a different dimension making it a cup of tea ain't for everybody...
