Intriguing Trailer for Hitman Thriller KNOX GOES AWAY Starring and Directed by Michael Keaton

A trailer has been released for the hitman thriller Knox Goes Away, directed by Michael Keaton in his second time behind the camera, after the 2008 movie The Merry Gentleman. The script is written by Gregory Poirier. Keaton stars in the film as a hitman who gets the news that he has a rare form of dementia that will leave him without much time to live. He is joined in the cast by James Marsden as his son, Suzy Nakamura, John Hoogenakker, Joanna Kulig, Ray Mckinnon, Lela Loren with Marcia Gay Harden and Al Pacino.

The film’s synopsis reads:

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.

This actually looks pretty good. The story is really intriguing, and it doesn’t shy away from getting dark and gritty. Check out the trailer below, and watch Knox Goes Away when it hits select US theaters on March 15th.
