Unknown Movie Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews
Giving anything that is related to the mystery behind the Dr. Harris (Neeson) memory loss and his stolen identity is going to do you injustice and will gravely spoil you. I can suggest to avoid seeing additional trailers for Unknown to keep you guessing. All I can say is that Unknown does not innovate much on the genre it falls under but thanks to Liam Neeson's phenomenal acting, the film became one of the most easily recommendable action movies that movie goers must see during this first quarter of the year. Unknown has an excellent musical score that accompanies every scene which brings out every chase and action scene.
I did't know what to expect from the film and thank the movie gods for that as my interest sucked me from the very beginning of the film. I was continually guessing what could be the mystery behind of his identity which was gradually satisfied and resolved at the latter half of the film. This made me want to watch Neeson's last film "Taken" which I failed to see last year.
After seeing the film, you might also say that it haven't deviated from the genre it is under but with an excellent musical scoring, over the top chase scenes and action sequences, and seemingly flawless performance from the Neeson, Unknown is a good action film.

Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired, and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally (Diane Kruger), Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he is willing to go to uncover the truth.
