Why Penthouse North Is Worth A Watch

Actor Michael Keaton makes his come back with the thriller 'Penthouse North'. The film is definitely worth a watch. Read on to know why.

A blind woman living alone gets terrorized by a dangerous criminal looking for a hidden treasure that he believes she has in her apartment. Sounds familiar, right? Yup, that's what we thought too. But then, we saw the movie. On the surface, the plot might seem similar to the 1967's Audrey Hepburn starring classic thriller, 'Wait Until Dark', but the look and feel of the movie is completely different. For example, don't expect any sympathy from any of the crooks in this movie. So, to all those who are eagerly looking forward to watching this suspense thriller starring Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton, here are some noteworthy facts about the movie that you should know about before you sit down to watch it:

1. Michael 'Batman' Keaton

Michael Keaton, a.k.a the original Batman is playing the role of a bad man in this action movie. It has been quite a few years since we've seen Michael Keaton in action and doing some action. So cheers to all his fans for he is back and to everyone else, hide your diamonds since he is on the prowl.

2. Story line/Plot

Blind lady, two dangerous crooks and pouch full of diamonds. One can not go wrong with a story line like this. Add to it few backstabbing (figurative and literally), throat slitting, punching and falling down the stairs and we have a 'masala' entertainment for two hours. Those who are looking for spending their time watching a thriller, this formulaic story line (having some really good suspense) is enough to make you sit through.

3. Michelle Monaghan

Anything this actress does is noteworthy and this film is no exception. Talented and beautiful, Monaghan effortlessly slips into the role of a traumatized ex-photojournalist who loses her power to see after an incident in Afghanistan. We are great fan of this power house and expect some crackling chemistry between her and the and comeback man in this movie, Michael Keaton.

4. Delayed release

Did you know that the movie was actually made way back in 2011. Crazy right? But a plus point of this genre of movie is that no matter when it is made, it wouldn't matter once you get down to watch the action thriller movie.

5. Director

The director of the movie is Joseph Ruben who previously directed some real high grossers at the box office like The Money Train, Forgotten and Sleeping with the Enemy. After taking a hiatus for almost six years, the director makes his come back with this one. So, Michael Keaton is not the only one who is making a comeback, it's director too is doing it.
