Knox Goes Away Reviews
While the film does not offer any innovation to the genre, Keaton's magnetism and Al Pacino's performance manage to give it a perspective that exceeds initial expectations. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 14, 2025
There’s an aimless quality to the story’s flow that turns a lot of Knox Goes Away into a bit of an indiscernible blur ... Still, that ending absolutely elevates it to a point where I can say I’m glad I saw the film.

An acceptable thriller... [Full review in Spanish]

Though very much a slow-burner of a thriller, be assured where there is smoke, there definitely is fire.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 16, 2024
Spirited support from Al Pacino as a scuzzball thief livens things up, though.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2024
Yeah, it’s a bit of a gimmick. But Michael Keaton, directing himself in the title role, turns in a performance and film with tense, quiet virtues.

Keaton gets better with age, and so do his choices. Quietly, the film is an ode to the ultimate goal of every father: doing what’s necessary won’t happen all the time, but it needs to happen when time is of the essence.

A welcome, character-driven tonic. It’s a small movie more concerned with character and relationship stories than it is with big-budget thrills or epic set pieces. And that’s OK.

The Miles subplot is a little overbaked, as is Marsden’s performance, but overall Keaton and his immersion into a character in transition drive the film confidently.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 2, 2024
The tortured morality at the center of the film renders it prickly and fascinating.

Keaton is ever watchable, however variable the movie.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2024
Knox is one of his most challenging roles, as it requires him to play a character struggling with shifting mental capabilities, and Keaton – who apparently works well with himself as director – is up to the task. He’s outstanding.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 19, 2024
Jason Bourne was a CIA patriot with a dangerous mission. Knox is a morally questionable hitman. Both have no memory. Top-shelf storytelling by Michael Keaton.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 14, 2024
A fascinating, compelling hitman story with a unique killer premise. To some degree it plays out somewhat like Memento with the twist being the main character is a hitman.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Apr 7, 2024
Michael Keaton as a heartbreaking hitman with dementia leads a stellar cast of actors in a slow paced drama with a fresh take on the action genre

This story of a soon-to-be amnesiac assassin is on the right side of precious bolstered by Michael Keaton’s bravura turn as actor-director.
| Apr 3, 2024
Michael Keaton is as good as he ever was in this quirky crime thriller.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 2, 2024
Don’t be fooled by the slow burn. Knox Goes Away is a character-driven outing propelled by Michael Keaton’s brilliance.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 29, 2024
Knox Goes Away has the benefit of director/star Michael Keaton's acting talent, but this movie about an assassin with dementia is dragged down by an uneven tone and a nonsensically convoluted screenplay with plot holes.
| Mar 27, 2024
Knox Goes Away is an aggressively average movie that is elevated by its performances, especially Keaton, who digs deep even where the ground is shallow.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2024
