John 'Aristotle' Knox (Michael Keaton) is a killer working for Xavier Crane (Al Pacino). He has dementia which is accelerating. He has weeks, not months. A job goes wrong due to his condition. His estranged son Miles Knox (James Marsden) has a dire situation. He uses what remains of himself to save Miles.
I like the concept at the start, but it's a slow decline in the story telling. Part of that has to be Michael Keaton himself who is doing a rare directing job. He does get moments of great acting from his actors especially from himself. His directing skills probably let him down. The movie should have much more tension with the pacing dragging out over its almost two hours run.
