Good entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2011)

One thing about Liam Neeson films is that they are guaranteed to be good. He's a fab actor and never fails to deliver, although his roles/acting seem more or less similar in every movie he's done lately playing a father, a husband etc except for his recent action flick. Nevertheless, he's a respectable actor who does a superb job. The movie 'unknown' was entertaining with a little drama, a little action and a bit of a thriller, nothing too over the top. It had a good twist toward the end which was very unpredictable and thus, likable. He, like with other films he's starred in, carried it on his shoulders till the end. With the exception of January Jones, who played his wife/partner assassin, the entire cast was excellent in terms of their performances. What I found very frustrating about January Jones was her expressionless and robotic face. Either she had a very straight bored look on her face while she delivered her dialogues or she had a broad smile in other scenes, just trying hard to look pretty on screen and this was it. I'd rate the movie more than 7 if it hadn't been for her. Over all, a decent story line with a good cast and some decent entertainment.
