(Musical Open)
Welcome to the show, I'm Brett Martin, thanks for watching.
Liam Neeson plays Martin Harris , an angry and out-of-control doctor who stuggles to
get his identity, wife, and mind back in 'Unknown'.
Excuse me sir, do you have an invitation ?
That is my wife, over there. Liz !
Do I know you ? What's wrong ? Its me, your husband.
This action driven movie does, at times, look like something you might see from
'The Bourne Identity' series, but its not. The movie is all about Neeson losing and then
gaining his memory back. After an accident he gets
a case of amnesia while visiting Berlin, and is strangely fogotten by his wife, played
by the lovely January Jones. Then he becomes a target of some bad guys
in the streets of Berlin, and seeks the help of his taxi driver, played
by Diane Kruger.
How did you find me ? I need to know what happened.
Its not safe for your, people are watching.
There are some great car chases and there is a bit of psychological intrigue. There
is definitely a twist in the movie, I think it is effect
to a certain extent. Notable mentions in the movie include
Aidan Quinn and Frank Langella in supporting roles. Unknown, though its not for everyone,
does show that Neeson still has box office charisma
and star power.
I don't know who this man is. You have to arrest him or many people will
die ! There is no Martin Harris.
He doesn't exhist. I'm Martin Harris !
The film does tend to take us out of the realm of reality every once in a while. Some how
things do sort themselves out by the time the credits
roll. Neeson and Kruger do have good chemistry on
on screen. The only thing I was hoping for was a better
script. Overall,Unknown is a pretty decent thriller but
it could have been a great one with some script revisions.
The Flick-o-meter gives UnKnown 3 out of five. I would recommend this movie for a little
escapism from the world, but the plot does border on
rediculous as the movie rolls along. So now you know before you go.
