Movie = The Merry Gentleman (2008)
Director = Michael Keaton
Rating = 3/5 Stars ***
This was sort of a strange one, and may leave wondering what exactly the point of the plot was...but I suppose their aren't movie-rules that state a movie must leave you feeling that it had some value to you as the viewer. Also, do not that the title and cover of the movie most definitely do not convey the movie at all, in fact if you go by the cover and title you might think it is some sort of early 19th-century-English-romance story. Main character Kelly Macdonald escapes her physically abusive husband and starts a new job in a new city across the country only to be caught up in between a cop who is interested in her and a suicidal killer who seems to be killing off a list of people, although we never actually find out what that is all about in the movie. This movie was not really all that suspenseful or myserious, and I suppose that it is meant to leave lots of open ends and fill-in-the-blanks for the creative movie-viewer type. Wouldn't watch it a second time, but worth watching once.
