Huh?

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2011)

Overall, Unknown was a thrilling moving that kept me wanting more UNTIL the climax and the ending happened.
I was interested in this movie, since the first time I saw the trailer. Even though the trailer reminded me of many movies combined, such as Shutter Island along with something else that I can't recall. On another note, I also like Liam Neeson as the protagonist (he's a great actor.
The beginning was a bit slow, but it still added the momentum that was required for a thriller movie. It kept me questioning how Liam Neeson will regain his memory, who were those guys that chased him, why was his 'wife' acting different in certain scenes and what was his true identity.
The pacing of the movie was very well done just until he found out that he was a killer. One of the only few evidences that I can recall from the movie before his identity was revealed to the audience was when he remembered the exact lines as 'Martin Harris'. Other than that there were no clues that the protagonist was a killer that partnered up with his lover and not his wife. Also, I didn't understand why he changed 180 degrees (not enough characterization to back up). He also got away with his past crimes for free!
Personally, I thought they should have added smarter clues so that when we rewind the movie, we can go "ahh". There was nothing to suggest that he was a killer.
