“There’s no coming back from this one…” Saban Films has revealed the trailer for Knox Goes Away, a film directed by and starring Michael Keaton. This originally premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last year to mixed reviews – some good & some bad. Set for a limited release in theaters only this March. Yet another hit man film to join the many out there right now. When a contract killer learns he has a rapidly evolving form of dementia, he is offered an opportunity to redeem himself by saving the life of his estranged son caught in a bind. Keaton stars as John Knox, the aging hit man, along with James Marsden as his son, Suzy Nakamura, John Hoogenakker, Joanna Kulig, Ray Mckinnon, Lela Loren with Marcia Gay Harden and Al Pacino. This doesn’t look that good – a bit muddled and so poorly shot – but all these nice quotes from this trailer do make me curious to find out why it is so “entrancing” and “twisted.” Take a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Keaton’s Knox Goes Away, direct from YouTube:
Academy Award nominee Michael Keaton directs & stars in this unpredictable thriller as John Knox, a hit man attempting to make amends before his recently discovered dementia takes over. Aided by a trusted friend (Academy Award winner Al Pacino) with his own shady past, Knox races against the police—and his own rapidly deteriorating mind—to save his estranged son (James Marsden) from a vengeance-fueled mistake and “cash out” before it’s too late. Knox Goes Away is directed by American actor / filmmaker Michael Keaton, making his second feature film after directing The Merry Gentleman (2008) previously. The screenplay is written by Gregory Poirier. This initially premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last year. Produced by Nick Gordon, Trevor Matthews, Michael Sugar, and Ashley Zalta. Saban Films will debut Keaton’s Knox Goes Away in select US theaters starting on March 15th, 2024 coming soon. Who’s down?
