Our heart goes out to Michael Keaton, who makes a belated directing debut at the age of 58, only to be apparently struck down by a niggling bout of creative constipation.

He's the pained and taciturn star of a pained and taciturn drama about a Chicago hit man who pals up with a lonesome fugitive from an abusive relationship (Kelly Macdonald). Together, one suspects, these clenched protagonists will suffer through their tense, awkward silences and eventually expel what ails them.
