At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Unknown surprised me. I knew little about this movie, aside from the fact that it stars Liam Neeson (which was enough to get me to watch it), but it's entertaining. It does a good job of messing with your mind and making you feel as disoriented as the protagonist does. However, it's a bit far-fetched, and as much as I like January Jones, she's not a very good actress. Nevertheless, it's worth a watch.

Liam Neeson has a very particular set of skills and instead of using them to save his family, this time he's using them to save himself. Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) has gone to Berlin, with his wife, for a medical conference, when an accident has left him in a coma. Upon awaking, no one knows who he is, not even his wife, but worse than that, there is another person walking around claiming to be Martin Harris. I don't know about you, but after three Taken movies and a handful of similar film, all starring Liam Neeson, playing the same type of character in the same type of situations, I've gotten pretty tired of him and his particular set of skills. At least the Taken movies moved at a reasonable pace and had more than a narrow focus, the same can't be said for Unknown. Parts of this film are as slow as can be, featuring Neeson and company sitting around talking about what could be going on and what to do before they show them doing it. They story is also so narrowly focused, that it leaves little flexibility for anything else. This film is as serious as it gets, it is a hundred percent focused on the story at all times, and Liam Neeson is as dry as the banks of the Colorado River. The chase scenes were cool, the conspiracy around everything was well written, but all in all this film feels very long and moves way too slowly for an action thriller, not to mention, I think I speak for everyone when I say we've had more than enough of Liam Neeson in these type of films.

A man wakes from a coma and loses his identityStarring Liam Neeson and Diane KrugerWritten by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell ( Screenplay) Based on the novel by Didier Van CauwelaertDirected by Jaume Collet-Serra A man loses his memory and nobody recognizes him, including his wife.Does this sound familiar? Well the plot isn't new and the premise has been used in many movies. But guess what? I don't care.I love this film! It has everything that I want in a movie. Great acting, a super plot, some brilliant action scenes and lots of twists. Unlike some movies where the plot twists are difficult to keep up with, I didn't have any difficulty here. The plot is clever but it doesn't try to be too clever. I was with it all the way.It keeps you guessing all the way and I really think that is the secret to a great movie. A good plot keeps you waiting, to find out what happens next. This film suits Liam Neeson. I can't imagine anybody else playing the main lead. And he is a great actor. Not wooden at all like some people suggest.Did I tell you that love this movie?10/10 for me.

I asked 11 people to watch this movie and pause it after 45 minutes and try to think of a scenario to explain what has happened. Not one person could do it. I couldn't either. In the last 30 minutes of the movie you are given a perfect explanation to describe the events. This movie is extremely clever and very well done. I thought it was one of the 5 best movies of the year. If you think you are good at analyzing movies and foreseeing endings, I challenge you to figure out where this movie is heading. The ending is unpredictable and very rewarding. If you are a fan of Liam Neeson, this movie is a must see. I've watched it six times and I am still pulled into on each viewing.
