Once in a very long while, a movie by, for, and about grownups slips through the Hollywood process to remind us that good films can still exist in and among all the "summer blockbusters" out there. "Knox Goes Away" on HBO is one of those rarities, directed by and starring Michael Keaton in fine form. The premise sounded weird and tired: aging hit man finds out he has sudden onset dementia but has to hold it together long enough to get his estranged son out of a jam. Visions of another old actor running around blowing away baddies, a VERY worn out cliche in Hollywood now. Not at all. Two movies unfold, one as Keaton executes an elaborate scheme to save his son and the other a close (but not too weird) look at how someone functions as they lose their cognitive abilities. The end result is a noirish, understated mystery that entertains all the way to the end.
