Like Taken, it's the kind of flick that will play forever on cable.June 30, 2013
The thriller is fun and action-packed but a few major plot holes and a few lazy twists definitely weigh it down.March 01, 2011
For about an hour or so, "Unknown" is intriguing.January 18, 2013
A paranoid thriller has to be more paranoid than this, with far more urgency to it, to work.February 18, 2011
Unknown" obviously knows its limitations, and it doesn't bother to rise above them. It just keeps throwing the punches the audience wants and expects. It won't cure world hunger, but chances are it will sell a lot of popcorn.March 02, 2011
The movie rather crumbles when it eventually has to deliver its secrets.February 18, 2011
The cat-and-mouse game that the filmmakers are playing with us is only partially successful because this thriller is only intermittently thrilling. Instead of being captivated by the twist and turns, we're more likely to be rankled.February 18, 2011
Neeson's comforting intelligence (and a marvelous turn by Bruno Ganz as an ailing former member of the East German secret police), are not enough to prevent the film from choking on obviousness and directorial fumbling.July 24, 2013
As the film progresses, it becomes incomprehensible. The twists are too preposterous and the plot holes are too plentiful, making Unknown an absolute mess.October 04, 2012
An exciting film that moviegoers will enjoy - even if they leave with a somewhat ambiguous understanding of the story that was unfolding outside of Neeson's character.June 21, 2011
May eventually surrender to convention and implausibility in equal measure, but until then, Collet-Serra grounds the conspiracy with a proper sense of mystery and mood.June 23, 2013
What started as a mildly intriguing innocent-man-wrongly-accused pseudo-thriller just turns into series of lame implausibilites in pursuit of an ending.
