Knox Goes Away is a 2023 crime thriller film directed by Michael Keaton, in his second feature film, and written by Gregory Poirier (National Treasure: Book of Secrets). The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10th, 2023.
Keaton’s first feature film was The Merry Gentleman which released back in 2008. He starred in that film as well alongside Kelly Macdonald and Bobby Cannavale. He recently played Bruce Wayne aka Batman in Warner Bros/DC’s The Flash, and will soon be breathing new life into a cult classic with Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2.
John Knox (Michael Keaton) is a hit man attempting to make amends before his recently discovered dementia takes over. Aided by a trusted friend (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.
The cast includes Michael Keaton, Al Pacino, Marcia Gay Harden, James Marsden, Suzy Nakamura, John Hoogenakker, Joanna Kulig, Ray McKinnon, and Lela Loren.
Knox Goes Away is set to debut in theaters March 15th, courtesy of Saban Films. Watch the official trailer below.
