Liam Neeson in another action movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2012)

Just to clarify, this is a psychological action thriller film. In my opinion, this movie should have had less "action" and more "thriller". Related to this is the fact that I know Liam Neeson plays a great positive character but I really don't buy him as an action guy. Maybe it's just me because when I told people I was going to watch a movie called "Unknown" starring Liam Neeson in the main role, they were like:"It's an action film right?". And that is not because they had heard of the movie. I was happy to see that this movie isn't all about action.
Moving on to more important stuff, the movie was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. He is an inexperienced Spanish director. Apart from this he has directed only 3 movies:"House of Wax"(the only one worth mentioning, but anyway), "Goal 2: Living the Dream" and "Orphan". And considering this, I thought he did a great job directing this. Also the script is actually good, except the lines from the action parts. Another positive thing is that for 3 quarters of this film, I knew how it was going to end. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how the ending turned out.
A thing that I really disliked was the fact that they put Frank Langella in the main cast. If you look it up on any site you see his name over there among the main actors. I was thrilled to see him in this movie but...HE PRACTICALLY HAS A CAMEO APPEARANCE. That really annoyed me.
But at the end of the film I was like:"Waw, I really liked this movie.".
