super-bad

Rating: 3/10 (24 February 2011)

The movie was so bad. I don't even know where to begin. First I would never have watched it with that horrible title, but unfortunately I did since I was dragged by friends. It is a wannabe Jason Bourne with nothing close to the Bourne trilogy even if the movie takes place in Berlin. It was so slow and I lost interest 20 minutes in, all I was enjoying was my popcorn. Bad script, terribly directed. Most people gave it a shot including me expecting a "Taken" however it is nothing like "Taken". UNKNOWN is literarily unknown because the movie has no identity, stupid plot, old school kinda hints which made the suspense so dull and amateur. Diane Kruger fake accent was so bad, and poor January Jones- What happened to her? Random cast with no cohesiveness whatsoever. The ending was horrendous. I wouldn't watch it even if it was for free. Actually, the opportunity cost of this movie is too high, because you would've been doing something way more interesting in those 2 hours, not to mention that you already spent 20 bucks on a terribly done movie. Hope Liam Neeson will make it up to his fans in Taken 2.
