I haven’t seen Michael Keaton’s film that I didn’t like, and I argue to death that it’s the best Batman ever decorating a silver screen. I can also praise virtues Bird, Founder, Mr. Mom, beetlejuice franchise and my personal favorite, Johnny dangerously As long as I’m not blue in the face but I feel the need to draw attention to the attention Knox disappearsA crime thriller that evokes ideas about declining mental health, which not only plays Keaton in a titular role, but also sees him in the director’s chair.

It’s all a question of perspective

At their core Knox disappears It tells a simple story that the hit would be forced to retire for the diagnosis of Cruetzfelt-Jakob’s disease (dementia) that changes life. Knowing that he has very little time to get his affairs in order before succumbing to his illness, John “Aristotle” Knox (Michael Keaton), he decides to earn his different assets so that he can build his stolen family with a hefty payout than he no longer has to do so.

Things are complicated when John blocked his last job and unintentionally killed his partner Thomas Muncie (Ray McKinnon) and also an innocent passers -by who happened to be in the shower with his intended goal. Although John is mostly clear during this sequence, he admits careless work that obscures his traces to make the scene look like a suicide of murder, because it already has episodes induced by dementia that prevents its ability to critical thinking.

Two investigations in tandem

When the wind was caught by hit-Gone-the-the-the-the-the-the-stage detective Emily Ikari (Suzy Nakamura), he immediately knows that the scene has been shown because John turned off the shower, which makes no sense to Jan’s cleaning. Although he suspects that John’s involvement, he covers his tracks enough to be in this case a person of interest until more evidence could be collected against him.

Meantime, Knox disappears It is the second source of conflict in the form of John’s stolen son, Miles (James Marsden), who visits a blue visit and asks for help. Miles finds himself in a mess that concerns his daughter Kaylee (Morgan Bastin), and a much older man who saw who impregnated her. Miles, who at first just wants to fear from God to a man who used his daughter, ended brutally murdered and left a considerable trace of evidence.

Michael Keaton is brilliant as John Knox

John is slowly losing reality and working with a former colleague named Xavier Crane (To Pacino) in order to make sure that he is holding on his way when trying to avoid the authorities, selling his assets and saving his son from life in prison. What hit me the most Michael Keatonis the power Knox disappears It was how his lack of cognitive force has never been used to create cheap moments of “Gotcha”, but rather to drive the story in a way that really shows you how his mind works.

Although John Knox can’t tell you what he had for breakfast, although his plate still sits in front of him, he calculates and carefully when he gets to work, shows the viewer how his muscle memory and instinct despite the driver’s seat captivate the driver’s seat rapidly decreasing mental state. He also leaves those who work with the grated trace of fine tracks, which will eventually lead them and himself to the desired result, whether he is aware of his actions or not. Although John knows he is careless and there is nothing to do with it, given his condition, his mysterious ability to buy time while trying to correct things is stunning.

Double Twist Ending

Most psychological thrillers end with a stunning reversal or revealing and Knox disappears is no exception. However, what distinguishes this vehicle Michael Keaton from his contemporaries is how it is charged with the wrong regime of its third act. You want to think that John Knox will fall to the left and right, but somehow he can remain even one or two, but a few steps ahead of everyone who witnesses his decrease in real time. After watching the film last night, I still work out as brilliantly Knox disappears It is solved because I honestly expected to copy it It was a dream all the time Or some other similarly exaggerated device, which is the result of lazy writing for so intense accumulation.

Knox disappears It is a master class in the wrong card, tension and psychological decline and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see Michael Keaton in the best form, not only as an actor, but as a director.
