The Merry Gentleman

[ascendedcobra]

Well after I watch a movie I usually see how it got reviewed. In this case I couldn't find anything about it after 2 searches so I guess I'll start a thread.
The Merry Gentleman stars Michael Keaton and Kelly Macdonald. Keaton is also the director and I can say he does a pretty good job.
SPOILER ALERT
The movie is about broken lives and everyone in the movie is living an unsatisfying existence. Kelly Macdonald is running from an abusive husband and everyone she meets is prying or just wants to use her. Despite this she seems to hold on to an optimistic attitude.
Well she accidentally witnesses a hit man on the job (Keaton) who is himself on the verge of suicide. He decides to get rid of anyone that can implicate him including her. Things dont go his way though and he finds himself in her debt. Slowly she breaks down his wall and the two develop a relationship.
Without giving away the ending I will just say that its about redemption and one person can make a difference for the right person.

Its a pretty goog movie if a little slow moving.Everone plays their part in a convincing fashion and Keaton does a good job at directing. I would say for me its a solid title at least worth a rental.
PQ is a solid 4 and everything looks pretty sharp and colors look correct. Not reference quality but nothing to complain about either .
Like I said its worth the trip to block buster.
