Incomprehensible

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2011)

Maybe I am missing something here, as clearly my impression of this film is far different than its current rating would suggest. It is ludicrous, at times incoherent, and only second in the personal hall of infamy for incredulous nonsense to the all-time worst in that category, "2012".
In 2012 you had a protagonist who could escape mere building collapses by flying through them, with the help of his wife's new husband who had no real previous flight experience. He could outrun crevices which in real-life move just under sonic speed on land, by driving on the neighbor's lawn.
In "Unknown", a film by an unknown writer and director, with big name leads, you have a supposed master spy who starts this whole mess of a movie by forgetting his super secret assassin spy briefcase. Is it irony or absurdity when a great actor in Frank Langella deadpans to Liam Neeson, "you were my best agent". I guess that doubt would enter anyone's mind if they left top secret plans in a briefcase you wouldn't forget, if you were a super spy assassin, in the cart at the airport.
It only gets worse from there.
When is the next Jason Bourne movie? That is fiction which plays out as realistic. "Unknown" is pure wait for cable tripe.
