In the opening scenes a distraught father feverishly retraces
the chain of events that led to his 6-year-old daughter's
abduction in New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal months
earlier. Questions, doubts and anxieties pile upon him to
the point where we wonder about his sanity and the very
existence of the child. His encounter with Lynn and her
daughter Kira (Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine)
impacts on the solace he has been seeking in the district's
seedy bars. Tense and harrowing, but compassionate and redemptive
too, the film is notable for the brilliant Lewis's haunting,
resonant performance.
"British actor Damian Lewis gives the performance of his career in this involving, compassionate picture." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Damian Lewis's Keane
is like a pared-down version of Robert De Niro's Travis
Bickle in Taxi Driver, and is not diminished by the comparison."
- Philip French, The Observer
