Unknown starring Liam Neeson and January Jones is a mystery thriller that is non-stop action from the word "Go".
Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) travels with his wife (Jones) to Berlin for a biotechnology summit. From the time they leave the airport, things begin to unravel.
Following an accident, Neeson discovers that someone else has taken his place in his life and he has no way to prove who he is. It's as though he never existed. There is intrigue and espionage, and mystery and like I said, non-stop action. It is tension filled all the way through. Unknown, is unpredictable and that's what made it fun. I probably could have done without watching it right before sleep...it sort of keys you up with all of that action. I kept wanting to reach into the movie and help Neeson prove who he was...that it was all a set-up. But was it? Hmmmm.
Since it was PG-13, I could handle the violence. There's a lot of violence, it's just not graphic. There are memory fragment sex scenes, which in my opinion added nothing to the story, were gratuitous and totally unnecessary...but who am I, right? That's how it got the PG-13 rating. Everyone puts forth great performances.
Nobody is who you think they are. Nobody. So who are they?
I give opinions on all sort of random stuff EXCEPT religion and politics...two of the most divisive topics on the planet. I give advice and answer questions (like an advice column), and I love the topics of all things spiritual and metaphysical, parenting and general life issues.
