The plot twist was good ss was the action. The script was average. Couple inconsistencies, like it was rewritten in spots. Still pretty good overall.
Unknown is a good thriller that keeps you guessing with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The film's premise is intriguing, and Liam Neeson delivers a solid performance as the protagonist trying to uncover the truth about his identity. The action is intense, and the film's pacing keeps you engaged throughout. While it may not be the most original thriller out there, Unknown is still an enjoyable watch.
Unkown, should stay that way.
Another Neeson rewatch for me. This was worth the time imo. Good thrills, enjoyable 80s style B movie baddies, and an overall intriguing mystery. Has its faults w some pacing issues and some weak dialogue, but overall an entertaining film. 6.7 for me.
A silly yet engrossing mystery/thriller due to a committed Liam Neeson performance. As a man who loses his memory on vacation with his wife. Who is then pursued by men with guns.
Full of mystery and intrigue, Unknown is a smart and action-packed thriller. When Martin Harris comes out of a coma after a car crash he finds that his identity has been stolen and that no one remembers him, not even his own wife. The script is fairly well-written and does a good job at depicting Harris’s search for proof of his identity. And, both Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger give strong performances. However, January Jones’ performance is weak and doesn’t fit the duality of character that is needed. Also, there are some areas of the plot that are underdeveloped. Yet while it has some issues, Unknown is an impressive film with some exciting twists and turns.
This is a very generic, by-the-book thriller featuring all genre specific clichés and a Liam Neeson acting with very little actual emotion. The story is very straightforward, and most twists until the very end were easy to figure out beforehand. It has a high tempo though, and there are many good action scenes - as well as a couple of less well-made sequences, such as the first car chase. The script is filled with holes and things that don't make sense, but they don't ruin the experience for the most part. They've tried to make another Taken out of this movie, but it just doesn't look or feel the same.
Unknown had so much potential and big shoes to fill with a predecessor like Bourne, but sadly it fell short. Not Neeson's best role but he seemed to do what he could with what was created.
Good movie! Good history and good pace. Lots of tension moments. Not good as Taken, but very enjoyable. 7 out of 10 !
It was an enjoyable film, but like the Bourne films it's the kind of film you only watch once. And yeah, as everybody else says, there were many occasions where you think "why doesn't he do that!?", such as properly attack someone (hardly a spoiler, he's holding a gun on the box art :P) or ask people the right questions.
Just skip this and watch Taken instead, million times better.
Nice movie. The story was a bit ordinary with a fight here and there and a car chase, but nevertheless i enjoyed watching it.
ihr blöden nicht deutschen, der film war der hammer... absolut gute story, spannend bis zur letzen minute, komplett in berlin gedrht (was echt super sletne ist für ein nicht deutschen film)
nur die effekte waren ab und zu nich ganz so gut... da hätten die mal lieber die lezte von alrm für cobra 11 das übernehmen lassen sollen.
IMDB: 7,5
I agree with Athlosbr99...good but not great. For a former assassin he sure forgot how to fight.
ja, war ein ganz guter und spannender film und was toll war ist das er komplett in berlin gedreht wurde...
Not upto the Harrison Ford standards in the genre.
Nice movie, but not great. I enjoyed watching, but I wouldn't watch it again.
It ok, but just ok. I wouldn't watch it again.
I liked it, was enjoyable and a great time filler...
I was looking forward to a mix of Taken and The Bourne Idenity.
Instead I got a weak thriller with few action scenes, weak characters and a lot of wasted potential. I don't even want to comment this any further.
I hope Taken 2 will be more enjoyable than this one.
