The Keyman

This movie starts off a little slow, but builds up into a movie that you don't want to end, because if it ends then you have to discover and accept that life is never easy and the pain and emotions of the main character (Adam Baldwin) are raw and never ending, and that the guilt that he carries around with him is with him constantly.

a woman helping out at homeless shelter who cannot forget the past and is tortured by it

this movie has plenty of tears but also some laughs with the character called Popeye, he is a friend of Adam Baldwin's character and his own story is sad but life seems to go on for him, and in his own little life he has his own demons to face.

i recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys a good movie and also a good cry

This film is so amazing because every parent has found themselves in such a situation - maybe not to that extreme - but one that made us think....what if I??????? There is nothing more horrifying and these characters were believable. Dan - you are very brave to bring your personal experience to the screen. Tom Wright is funny - and sad - at the same time. Unfortunately there are "popeyes" in every city and we simply choose not to see them. This film highlights this very sad but very real issue and allows us to humanize these homeless lost souls and perhaps look at them a bit differently the next time we drive under a bridge that may be their home.

The Keyman is a triumph in independent film-making. It manages to keep your attention from start to finish without losing sight of the bigger picture.

The performances are top notch from the three main characters, with my special praise going to Adam Baldwin and Tom Wright, who really stand out.

The film never felt overly long because the pacing seems to have been timed in Switzerland!

Sure the film, like every other, has it flaws. The character that Ellen Locy plays maybe could have used something more and you feel that Tom Wright's Popeye may at any moment come out with "I ain't getting' on no plane fool!", but these things pale into the background when faced with the films question of what would happen to you if a similar tragedy had happened.

And, you know that every has that one scene that you'll remember it for. Well here it simply has to be Adam Baldwin's performance when we finally see what happened to his baby in flashback and his present day "redemption" if you will. Stunning.

After first viewing The Gunman, I went searching for more movies by Daniel Millican. After viewing Keyman, which I believe is Millican's best work yet, my outlook on family, human nature and society making judgements on one another based on appearances alone has changed completely. The story was heart-wrenching, thought-provoking and has opened lines of communication within our family between parents and teenagers alike. I found the movie entertaining, while at the same time deeply disturbing, a story in contrasts that I would recommend to everyone, particularly parents with children of impressionable age - my daughter has plans to introduce the movie to her high school classmates through in-class viewing with discussion. Don't miss this one, thank you so much Daniel Millican for sharing your vision.

'The Keyman: Finding Redemption' is amazing!! I LOVED it!

The story was beautiful,exciting and heartbreaking. This has to be the BEST movie I've ever seen Adam Baldwin in..(Next to MY BODYGUARD, and RADIO FLIER, two great films) He is a highly talented actor, the entire cast was awesome.

Actually, this is one of the best films I've seen all year, maybe longer. That doesn't say much for all the 'big budget' directors and filmmakers. Sometimes they try too hard. I was so surprised, I didn't realize the depth of Keyman's psychological problems. I couldn't also help thinking, if you took the main characters, Keyman and Popeye and put them in a comedy, They would be hilarious. I'll admit that I cracked up laughing more than once. This is my type of movie. My complaint, it wasn't longer. Thank You Daniel for sharing your story.
