Unknown Review



A serious car accident in Germany leaves Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) waking up in a hospital. When he returns to his wife Elizabeth (January Jones), he finds another man living with his wife and under his identity. With no one able to remember him, Martin struggles to find answers with the help of a taxi driver, Gina (Diane Krueger), all the while questioning who he really is.

As of late, Neeson has become a late-bloomer of an action star, inheriting a role in this movie that frankly could have been played by anyone. He just doesn't bring anything unique to the role and coming off as a very standard everyman. What makes the film intriguing is a good story that continues to twist throughout its progression and reel the viewer closer as it moves forward.

It's a decent action flick, with just a pinch of conspiracy and a dash of thriller to its final product. A lot of the cast feels overshadowed in comparison to Neeson, but the plot is enough to keep your attention. It keeps you curious and suspicious throughout, with some good, but not great, stunts.
