Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Bento de Espinosa Some professional assassins want to steal important secrets (that are on a laptop!) from a professor and kill him. There a million ways of doing that, and they choose to steal the secrets just minutes before exploding a hotel in downtown Berlin with lots of people inside, because obviously that is the easiest and most rational way of doing it, right?Apart from a not very believable plot, with many inconsistencies, acting is not great either, but this is probably due to poor directing. Proof of that are the fight scenes. There are so many cuts and the camera is so shaky that it is impossible to see something.Not good.

With the help of a young woman, he sets out to prove who he is. Despite some cliches. pacing issues and Frank Langella's talent get wasted 'Unknown' benefits strictly from Liam Neeson's charm and talent that makes action movies even better this days, the action and the thriller element of the movie is well written and even tho the story isn't something original to be said it kept me hooked. Overall a nicely done film with Neeson doing what he knows best: kicking and shooting people. (7.5/10)
ildsol The build-up is exciting: Someone has stolen the identity and life of the protagonist ... or is he, himself, going insane? Martin Harris (the ever reliable Liam Neeson) explains the struggle in his mind as: "a war between being told who you are and knowing who you are." The premise is followed by great action scenes and twists and turns to keep you guessing most of the way. A movie like this, however, ends well by keeping suspension of disbelief on a tight leash, for the viewer to really invest emotionally. The third act, unfortunately, looses the grip. Where genre classics like The Fugitive (1993) and The Game (1997) held the viewer fast to the heart-pounding end, Unknown Identity ends up increasingly far-fetched, and it eventually couldn't keep me truly caring about the story.6/10
Tss5078 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.
