Review of The Merry Gentleman (2008) by Ricky M — 22 Jul 2010
Cast: Michael Keaton, Kelly Macdonald, Tom Bastounes, Bobby Cannavale, Darlene Hunt, Guy Van Swearingen, William Dick, Jay Disney, Randall Jones, Debbi Burns.
Director: Michael Keaton.
Summary: Kelly Macdonald stars as a young wife who escapes an abusive marriage to begin a new life on her own. But when she finds herself a witness to a murder, she develops an unusual bond with a glum hit man. Beloved actor Michael Keaton makes his directorial debut with this quirky drama from a script by Ron Lazzeretti.
My Thoughts: "It was a quiet slow paced film. Not much action as I had thought there might be considering the film is about a hit man. But I still enjoyed it. Didn't really have much of any character development, but you kinda got a feel of their background by some of the remarks they make. It was an odd romantic film. Don't know if I liked the ending or not.. But it was worth the rental, and I think Michael Keaton did a great job on his first time directing a film. He was good in the movie as well. It's worth a watch.".
