Movie Review: Unknown

Movie: Unknown
Staring: Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger

Unknown has the feel of a Borne Identity copy and is even known in Germany as "Unknown Identity." Although the similarities are there I still think this movie does well at standing on its own as a good movie. The story flows at a good pace keeping you interested in the characters without giving too much away. Liam Neeson is awesome, as always, and Diane Kruger does well at holding her own with Liam.

The trailer does a good job of showing the tone of the movie. When I went in I was afraid that the action would over shadow the mystery of the story and my fears were put to rest quickly. Don't get me wrong, there are some great action sequences and I gotta say I just love watching Liam Neeson kick ass (Taken is the best movie for Neeson ass kicking).

The directing was good for the dramatic scenes and the car chases, but like most action movies, my biggest complaint is the close up, quick cut, shaky cam fight sequences. Please please please, pull the camera back so we can see the fight and not get motion sickness as we try to figure out what is going on. I loved the production quality and I like when movies film on location, nothing looks better then the real thing.

My Rating (out of 10):  7
