Critics Consensus

Michael Keaton directs Michael Keaton in Knox Goes Away, and gets a terrific performance out of himself -- albeit one that's left stranded by an underwhelming screenplay.

Larry M

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

Rated: 3/4

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

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.

Lyles' Movie Files

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.

Rated: 9/10
