Oscar® nominee Liam Neeson (Taken, Schindler's List) stars as Dr. Martin Harris, who awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (Mad Men's 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 (National Treasure's Diane Kruger), Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth. Produced by Joel Silver (The Matrix films), this high concept, psychological action thriller is an action-packed cross between Taken and the Bourne Identity blockbusters.

Critics Consensus: Liam Neeson elevates the proceedings considerably, but Unknown is ultimately too derivative -- and implausible -- to take advantage of its intriguing premise.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Along with wanting humor, Unknown’s lacking sense of romance leaves the audience with nothing to root for except the promise that, by the end, Neeson will deliver some knockout blows to the bad guys.

This is a by-the-numbers thriller, in which nothing is what it seems, but nothing is what it seems in pretty much the way you’d expect, if that makes sense.

Fans of Neeson's Weaponized Old Guy roles will be sated by the times he goes mano a mano.

The tension remains consistent and the spattering of action sequences impresses.
