Unknown (Movie)

[Talismanic (Mark)]

I watched this movie yesterday evening at Gateway. It was an amusing ride that was a bit of Bourne-Identity and The Fugitive combined. The movie is a little plodding in the beginning, and I thought it might be some kind of "art film" initially where the main character is dead and just reliving his last moments, thankfully it was NOT.

The plot picks up when Dr. Harris (Liam Neeson) realizes that there really is someone after him. And then we get treated to some action with a fight scene and a car chase, some skull duggery, and lo and behold we meet Frank Langella who does the big reveal.

The plot is quite neat and all the loose ends are tied up- there are no real A-Ha moments, but its quite a droll film, like a basic sudoku, it gives up the game a little too soon, but is light fun nonetheless. Thankfully though, there are no refrigerator logic moments.

Neeson's other action flick "Taken" was much more energetic but was a straight out revenge-retrieval flick so the plot need not accommodate a "mystery" like Unknown. At any length, in the case of Unknown however, all is revealed.

Just January Jones in some "hot" scenes:



But no full on nudity.
