Unknown

Movie Name: Unknown
Genre: Action, Drama
Language: English

I watched this movie yesterday. I was hopeful about the movie considering the last movie “Taken” by Liam Nelson. The tag line and the posters for the movie were promising.

The story of the movie revolves around a scientist who has gone to Berlin for some conference. He meets with an accident and wakes up after four days. Then he comes to know that his whole identity is stolen by someone else. Rest of the plot follows his attempts to prove his identity and get back his life. There are good twists in the story with a generic climax. The plot is good but movie is not able to generate the same effect on the viewer as “Taken”.

As for acting, Liam’s voice is not that impressive in the role of a scientist as there are still hints of accent used in “Taken”. He is not able to fend off the image created by “Taken”. All the actors have done their parts but none is worth mentioning for some extraordinary work. Pace of the movie is good but some more editing to make the movie short may have helped. The background music is also okay.

In totality movie was good not great. After “Taken”, more passion was expected from the movie. Still movie is worth a watch. My ratings are 3.0/5.0
