Keaton has proven himself to be as adept at action seriousness as antic comedy. In Knox, his hand is steady...

3/4

This is Keaton’s film to carry every step of the way, and he turns in a typically fine and layered performance as a man who might find relief in the loss of his memories, given all the dark acts he’s committed.

It really all depends on Keaton giving a serviceable performance to salvage whatever is left, but even he falls short.

3/5

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.

Though very much a slow-burner of a thriller, be assured where there is smoke, there definitely is fire.

Keaton has a great script and does a great job both directing and acting. Wish more people went to this.

Michael Keaton played the lead role extremely well. While there was a little violence, it was appropriate to the story and neither long nor excessive.
