User Reviews: Frank Logan (Keaton) is a hit man and he suspects Kate (MacDonald) can place him at the scene of his last hit.

This is slow moving, but if you look at it as a cat and mouse game it’s a non-issue. The thing that really saves this movie is Kate’s Scottish accent. You cannot get enough of it regardless or what else is going on. Okay, the movie would save itself anyway, but when Kate speaks, you listen because you really don’t know anything about her, and that accent is pure heaven. Maybe it is the accent.

The title is somewhat misleading. There is nothing merry about Frank Logan as you will see. Merry is used because it is Christmas time and he does act the part of a gentleman. See? Seems it is all a matter of some misdirection, but only in the title, not in the story.

This is Michael Keaton’s first attempt at directing and since I enjoyed the movie, I’d say he did a good job of it. He brought the right amount of suspense and tension throughout the story. And, to have selected Kelly MacDonald to play Kate, with that accent is pure genius. I guess you can tell I really like the Scottish accent.

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes, some
