I suppose Harrison Ford, ten years Liam Neeson's elder, was over the hill for this role, otherwise it should have been his by right. It's basically a cross between Frantic, Regarding Henry and The Fugitive. Unknown is quite a well-made, tense thriller, if you ignore the fact that it is in the mold of nearly every other American film in its genre and makes little attempt at believability.

Okay movie

taken was an unsuspected hit for neeson and he follows it up with this mumbo jumbo? it's got a similar feel and style, but it's an utter failure and borders on simply boring. the majority of the population didn't expect this to go anywhere and the would be right, do yourself a favor and fit nicely into that category.

Mediocre and awkward script. Bad pacing overall. Waste of Neeson, basically.

Started off pretty nicely, but ended up in an overly implausible story with ridiculous action scenes.

A bit too similar to the Bourne movies both in direction and plot

Unknown is a great thriller. It kept me entertained for the entire time it was playing, because even when it isn't going full speed ahead, I was thinking about things that happened earlier and trying to piece everything together. It has two solid actors in key roles, and while a couple of the scenes feel contrived, they only felt that way in retrospect for me because of how involved I was with the film.

I watched this movie without any prior knowledge of what this movie was. The movie starts of differently from what it ends. Once you figure out the premise of the movie around 20% into the movie it starts to become predictable. Liam Neeson isnt a action hero either to pull a Bourne series here. Its ans alright entertainer.

A more than decent mixture of 'Frantic' and 'The Bourne Identity'.

Taken 2

Quite decent stuff with taking into account that L.Neeson starts to kick ass in the end. Also thumbs up for Ganz and Langella, who were above all other cast in terms of performance.

I enjoyed it but I was disappointed. I was expecting Taken 2 : Electric Boogaloo but ended up with a fairly standard thriller shot through a green filter. The promotional shot for the movie shows Liam Neeson holding a gun, he barely rampages at all though, Kruger racks up a higher body count. One day I hope the Liam Neeson European Rampage movie is considered a genre in its own right, but Unknown certainly wouldn't fit in it.

It benefits from having Neeson in the lead role but the film goes from being an intriguing thriller and having a good build up to being a chore to watch once the twist comes.

I thought it was pretty damn good and Liam Neeson still kicks ass.

Started well, but once things began to get revealed, it just turned silly. Meh cubed.

really good 10 out of 10
