The only thing merry about this film is that it is set around the christmas season. Otherwise, the merriment is purely fictional. And while I like a good hitman movie, be it a dark comedy (see You Kill Me or In Bruges) or just dark (see The Memory of a Killer), this turns out to be a mediocre hitman movie. Michael Keaton plays the role of the lonely hitman searching for something more. Apparently his work is not fulfilling and he finds his curiosity piqued when he encounters ... But no chemistry erupts, no emotion is ever displayed. Keaton plays a grey character in a color world, resulting in a film that is pretty flat throughout and in the end, forgettable.
