Not great, good for a boring evening

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2011)

An unnamed CIA agent (Neeson) is hired to go undercover at a Bio Technology convention in Berlin along with his partner (Jones) who is acting as his wife for the set up. The couple are there to assassinate a scientist who has developed a new crop of corn that would possibly be able to end world hunger. However, this is not revealed until late in the film.
Neeson's character wakes up in a Berlin hospital after having just woke up from the wreck induced coma. Forgetting who he is, he believes that he is Dr. Martin Harris; which is is his cover to execute the CIA plan. He is convinced that his partner is in fact his real wife as their fictionalized back story becomes reality for him. Further into the film, people begin attempting to murder him. It is obvious that because he has the ability to compromise the assassination plan, people want him dead.
He teams up Gina (Kruger), the taxi driver from the crash, in order to fight those who wish him harm. Once he starts to recover some of his lost thoughts, the assassination plan comes back to the man's memory. He decides that it is necessary to try to stop the assassination attempt. After much exciting action packed scenes; he does all of this successfully, leaving this film to end on a happy note.
In all truthfulness, the viewer must completely abandon all sense of logic for this movie to be enjoyed. Sure, there is an amazing twist in the film once it is realized who Neeson's character really is and; of course, the trailers for the film give the viewer a completely different preconceived idea. If you want to kill two hours and just blank out for an evening; Unknown is the perfect film for that. Just do not expect the movie to change your life.
