this very simple tale aim for a feel similar to a coen brother noir ish film but the actual craftsmanship and writing be not up to the task . the premise be that of two loner who have nothing in common but nonetheless bound together . one character be a hit man and play by director michael keaton . the other be kate and a woman flee a past of abuse and play by kelly macdonald . unfortunately and there nothing here to rejuvenate the classic element such a the nice guy hit man who be poorly socialize . the quirky relationship fall a little flat compare to other movie of the genre . everybody will root for poor kate to get her life on track after a bad relationship and i couldn not help but feel it all tie up a little nicely for her . there just nothing terribly interest about this plot or the character to make me care .
