This! This is not Happening!

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2011)

***SPOILERS*** In what looks like a combination of two Harrison Ford thrillers "The Fugitive, and " Frantic" Liam Neeson plays Biotech, who specializes in plant life, professor Martin Harris who in a matter of days loose not only his identify but but his pretty blond wife Elizabeth, January Jones, as well.
Attending a biotechnology summit at the Adlon Hotel in downtown Berlin Harris notices that he left his briefcase and all his papers and document at the Berlin airport and takes a taxi there to retrieve it. With the taxi involved in a smash up on the Berlin Bidge Harris is rescued by the cab driver Gina, Diane Kruger, who takes off before the police arrives! As we soon learn Gina is an illegal immigrant from Bosnia and fears that she may be deported back there if the police find out about her status in the country.
It's at the hospital that Harris coming out of a coma senses that something isn't right in finding out from the Berlin Police Department that his wife Elizabeth never filed a missing person report on him with him being hospitalized for four days! All that with him as well as the hospital staff, in that Harris didn't have any identification on him, not being able to contact her! It's later when Harris taking off against his doctors orders arrives at the Adlon Hotel to see his wife that he finds her with another man , Aidan Quinn, who claims to be her husband Martin Harris!
In an effort to find out who he is Harris, or whoever he is, tries to track down the cab driver Gina who by getting involved with him ends up putting her life on the line! In that Harris is now targeted for elimination by these two hit-men Smith & Jones, Oliver Schneider & Stipe Erceg, since despite his amnesia he knows too much about what's really going to happen at the biotechnology summit that he and Elizeabth are to attend. It was at the hospital that nurse Gretchen Erfurt, Eva Lobau, tipped Harris off to where to get help in finding himself by getting in touch with her good friend former East German intelligence agent Ernst Jurgen, Bruno Ganz. As it later turned out both Nurse Erfurt and Mr. Jurgen ended up losing their lives in trying to help Harris find out just who he is which in fact was by far the biggest mystery in the entire movie!
***SPOILERS*** Liam Neeson looked very uncomfortable playing a brainy botanically professor Martin Harris but really got into stride when he took off the gloves and started kicking butt all over Berlin in him finally finding out that he was in fact a plant, figuratively not literally, together with his old lady Elizabeth put into the biotechnology summit to assassinate Prof. Leo Bessler, Sebastian Koch. It's Prof. Bessler who had invented this new crop,that can grown in any kind of weather or environment, that will put the world's food conglomerates out of business! What's even more shocking to Harris is that he together with Elizabeth was the one who planted the bomb at the hotel some three months earlier to go off just when Prof. Bressler was to give his speech in making his new wonder crop available to the world's nations at no charge! This was to eliminate hunger as well as eliminating the profits of the major food conglomerates who are behind the plot to murder him and everyone else at the summit!
Getting down to the business at hand Martin with his memory now completely recovered goes after those who are out to spoil the party, the biotechnology summit, by exposing both Harris, the impostor, and his phony wife Elizabeth who together with their boss master spy and assassin Rodney Coal, Frank Langella, are out to turn it into a German version of 9/11. We have two exciting car chases as well as a confrontation between Harris and Harris at the Adlon Hotel with the bomb that Harris planted there that's set to go off at any moment. In the end Harris after taking care of business, Rodney Coal & his hoods, takes off for Canada with Gina who saved his life more then once in the movie where they can get away from all the dangerous spy and assassination business that they found themselves involved in Berlin.
