EXCELLENT MYSTERY THRILLER

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2020)

I've been loving the rise of Liam Neeson the Action star & he's made some really excellent films like the Taken Trilogy & Non-stop & A walk among the Tombstones & Run all Night & The Grey & Unknown, he's become an aging action legend in his own right.
Neeson gives another solid performance here as a man with a lost memory stuck in a wintery Berlin trying to find out why his wife is saying she doesn't know him after he turns up a few days later with no memory except of her & his own name & has to piece together what the hell is going on?
Unknown is a Classy Mystery Thriller that's filmed in a grim & sickly green that makes everything feel off & looks very grimy & urban gritty, also the dead of winter & snowy setting of Berlin add a cold icey atmosphere to this Clever Mystery that is expertly Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed Liam Neeson in other excellent Thrillers Non-Stop, Run All Night & The Commuter, so he's a top suspenseful Director who brings out the best Thriller performance from the ageing rugged Neeson, abit of a dream team.
Apart from the good cinematography & tone of this movie it's also got a nice suspense-driven music score & a good little supporting cast with January Jones, Diane Kruger, Aidan Quinn & Frank Langella.
If you enjoy a good solid & exciting Mystery Thriller & like a good Neeson film than Unknown is definitely gonna satisfy.
I love Thriller's & love Neeson flicks so i totally enjoyed this entertaining Thriller that could've easily of been made in the 1990's as a slick Thriller with someone like Michael Douglas for example & that's kinda comforting that this type of straight forward action Thriller is still getting made in these over-blown mega-budget & c.g.i obsessed days of movies.
Unknown is a fun, Mystery popcorn Thriller that's perfect for a Saturday night.
