This is not Taken

Rating: 5/10 (8 January 2012)

Unknown is not the worst film i have seen this year but certainly not the best.To be honest the endless comparisons with 'Taken' were very misleading going into the film.The only thing i found similar between the two films were its European setting.Its not original in the slightest,man loses memory,runs around a bit,gets paranoid,forgets how to act etc. I like Neeson but he seems bored in this film.Frank Langella is wasted once again in what could have been a great role,a scene where he confronts an East German spy with riddled dialogue is plain boring.
I was expecting a fast-paced suspenseful thriller but was left disappointed,only because of the misleading one word reviews on the DVD case. My fault i guess.
