All About Movies

After fleeing an abusive marriage, a young woman sets off to start a new life. When she finds herself an unwitting witness to a murder, she stumbles into a curious friendship with a depressed hit man.

Finely tuned and nuanced performances from Michael Keaton and Kelly MacDonald (she played Peter Pan in Finding Neverland) highlight an off-kilter film set in New York. A scene between Keaton and MacDonald in a hospital could play in an advanced acting workshop anywhere. Truly great. And supporting contributions from Diane Hunt, Keith Kupferer abd Dave Murcheson are qually excellent. Add to this a beautifully shot vista of New York and you get a great film.
