Merry Gentleman, The

USA 2008, 110 minutes
Dir. Michael Keaton
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

Feat. Michael Keaton, Kelly MacDonald, Tom Bastounes

Aroview: Understated drama marks Michael Keaton's directorial debut with Keaton himself taking the lead as a suicidal hitman who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a battered wife.

Keaton and MacDonald are both remarkable in their roles, delivering complex performances in a narrative where largely 'nothing much happens'. A quiet, lyrical debut.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Kelly MacDonald is terrific and this is in no small way because Keaton as director and co performer recognises her as a good thing and gives her plenty of opportunity. There is little suspense in this low key drama but it is compact & has a great ending. ~Tubbs
