![]() That evening, as an ominous storm blows over, he receives a knock on his door from two stranded girls (Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas). ![]() On this Father's Day, instead of being able to celebrate the day with his family at a far away secluded beach, he's spending the day alone so that he can knock out an important and unfinished project. He's a hard worker and the high quality of his work has put him in high demand. Evan's life is perfect … for now.Įvan is a good man and a good husband and a good father. Together, they have two young children that couldn't be any more perfect. The home they live in couldn't be any more modern: giant open spaces, huge glass window walls, 90-degree angles, and tons of the wife's "art" as decor. He's a former old-school vinyl-spinning DJ turn architect and his wife creates giant and often silly art gallery pieces. Keanu Reeves leads 'Knock Knock' as Evan, the male half of a pretentious small family. The set-up was there, but it simply couldn't follow through. It fails miserably, ultimately crashing and burning without ever getting tense or terrifying. It checks lots of must-have's off the list, but by the time it ends, it has fallen apart. 'Knock Knock' kicks off heading down this great direction. Much like noir movies of old, the antagonist frequently acts without obvious or logical motives, and no matter what the protagonist does, he or she simply cannot get away. When I think of a good thriller, I think of something like 'Cape Fear,' a film that is grounded in a reality in which the characters make rational - although frequently poor - decisions that lead to terrible consequences.
