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.

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

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.

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]

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.

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.
