Coach, give me a shooter.

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2011)

That does it. This being basketball tournament season, I am calling a technical foul on the 'Unknown' bench for creating a confusing and convoluted screenplay designed to befuddle audiences and that is too clever by half. A scientist (but he's not) checks into a hotel with his wife (but she's not), gets into a car crash and becomes nobody. Got it so far? Didn't think so. From there on it gets confusing.
Before we get even farther afield, let's just say that the picture is saved by the charismatic presence of Liam Neeson, who plays his part with two of his best assets, his sincerity and his earnestness. He is aided in his earnest sincerity by two excellent performers, Bruno Ganz as a dying psychiatrist and by Frank Langella as the 'heavy'.
I guess it is worth seeing, and maybe you are quicker on the uptake than I am (I think it all started to come together on the way to the parking lot).There was just so much contrivance and improbability for a higher rating - but they at least had the right cast.
