Liam Neeson elevates the proceedings considerably, but Unknown is ultimately too derivative -- and implausible -- to take advantage of its intriguing premise.

May eventually surrender to convention and implausibility in equal measure, but until then, Collet-Serra grounds the conspiracy with a proper sense of mystery and mood. The movie rather crumbles when it eventually has to deliver its secrets. Neeson's comforting intelligence and a marvelous turn by Bruno Ganz as an ailing former member of the East German secret police , are not enough to prevent the film from choking on obviousness and directorial fumbling.
Unknown" obviously knows its limitations, and it doesn't bother to rise above them. It just keeps throwing the punches the audience wants and expects. It won't cure world hunger, but chances are it will sell a lot of popcorn.
The cat-and-mouse game that the filmmakers are playing with us is only partially successful because this thriller is only intermittently thrilling. Instead of being captivated by the twist and turns, we're more likely to be rankled. With little going for it and a laughable script, Unknown coasts along at a fast enough pace to justify the minute runtime. I forgot Unknown by the time I got to the car; it was a real act of will to call it up again long enough to review it, and I'm already forgetting it again.
If one can swallow the premise Like Taken, it's the kind of flick that will play forever on cable. As the film progresses, it becomes incomprehensible. The twists are too preposterous and the plot holes are too plentiful, making Unknown an absolute mess. Liam Neeson plays another middle-aged superman in this frenetic movie full of overstylish action, but even if the mediocre plot begins relatively interesting, it soon comes up with a lot of convenient holes and ends with a ludicrous explanation that is more laughable than surprising.
I thought it was okay at first, but gradually lost me. Still not entirely sure what was going on by the end, but found I didn't really care by then either. Typical dumb "blockbuster" type movie that's only good for a one off watch and preferably for free on tv. After a car accident Dr Martin Harris Liam wakes up from a coma to find that his wife doesn't recognise him and another man has stolen his identity.
Similar to Bourne Identity. Good cast and interesting storyline.
