His wife doesn\u2019t recognize him, he has no form of identification, and random memories spark in and out of his mind.<\/p>\n<p>He is left alone, confused, and constantly chased by mysterious assassins. He partners up with a local girl, Gina (Diane Kruger), to get to the bottom of his ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the story develops in an interesting and intriguing manner; the way it unravels may leave the audience confused. The sudden twists that predominate the film confound the senses and may defeat the entertaining purpose of the movie.<\/p>\n<p>Car crashes, high-speed chases, and fight scenes add some action; but most of them are very unrealistic. The special effects overall could have been taken to a higher level.<\/p>\n<p>Neeson\u2019s character is reminiscent of his previously celebrated performance in the movie <em>Taken<\/em>. The supporting actor\u2019s performances can only be described as flat and ordinary, making Neeson\u2019s character the only strong force in the cast.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, the film fits well into the thriller genre and keeps the audience in anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>The pieces of the puzzle distributed throughout the film eventually come together\u2014although with great difficulty\u2014and make some sort of sense at the end.<\/p>\n<p>The total shift the film takes, and the discoveries Neeson\u2019s character makes about himself and the characters, come as a great surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some shortcomings, the film serves the audience with suspense, mystery, and emotion. It\u2019s perfect for a Friday night escape from reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unknown, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, House of Wax), is the latest thriller starring Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson (Schindler\u2019s List, Batman Begins).
