A decent, if not perfect movie

Just watched "Knox Goes Away" on Max directed and starring Michael Keaton. Keaton plays Knox, a hitman who receives a devasting diagnosis: he has Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and has only weeks to live. So, he has to get his affairs in order before he "goes away". Soon multiple tragedies occur which require him to use the last vestiges of his intellect to ensure that his estranged son, ex-wife and his kept woman get their inheritance. The story is a bit slower than it needs to be but Keaton's descent into the "brain fog" of dementia is convincingly sad. Solid support from Al Pacino as Keaton's friend and James Marsden as Keaton's son combine to create a decent, if not perfect movie. Recommended as a 7/10 - a Roger Ebert reviewer gave this one star - completely unfair in my opinion.

Unexpectedly, It became one of my favorites.

Only knowing Keaton from Spiderman: Homecoming, I don't he's so talented that he can direct too. He put out an incredible performance in the film. The movie deals well with both the suspense and the emotional aspects of the story, two emotions I rarely see come together, that too successfully. I misunderstood the film to an action from the trailer but I gave it a chance 10 minutes into the film and it didn't let me down.And the best part of it all, the father role portrayed in the film, stirred so much emotion in me that I've added this to my favorite's list.Everyone performed to their best including the son, detective, and Keaton.
