I am big fan of Michael Keaton and he was THE reason I wanted to check this movie out. His performance was rock solid! In an understated, subtle way Michael Keaton made his character (suffering from fast deteriorating dementia) come across as sympathetic and true to life, BUT...
The bad: this story simply would not catch fire. It would not become thrilling or suspenseful or really mesmirising. The opposite was kinda true actually, because at moments this was quite a tedious watch.
More bad: the supporting actors arent terrible, but they surely arent great either. And that matters, because there is no real chemistry between Michael Keaton and the other actors.
Beware: this is NOT a thrilling crime / gangster drama. It is a well made portrait though of a hired gun with dementia that never really catches fire though. There I said it for a third time!
