Diverging away from our usual romcoms and chic-flicks, Keli and I decided to go and see the new action/thriller starring Liam Neeson (a.k.a. the man we believe has one of the sexiest voices on the planet), Unknown. Now, from the trailer, we were expecting this film to be pretty good – Basic synopsis: a man goes to Berlin with his wife for a conference and once they get to their hotel, he realises he left his briefcase with their passports back at the airport. So he grabs a taxi and heads back to the airport, but on the way, gets into a terrible car accident that results in him being in a coma for the next 4 days. Naturally, when he wakes up in hospital days later, he is extremely confused as to why his wife isn’t there by his bedside, or more importantly, why a missing persons report hasn’t been issued in search of him. He immediately goes to find his wife who he assumes must be distraught not knowing where he’s been for the past 4 days! However, once he finally tracks her down, she’s unaware of whom he is….or so we think…DUM DUM DUM!
The film basically felt like a 1 hour and 45 minute adrenaline rush – every few minutes someone would be jumping out of a moving vehicle, or fist-fighting a guy twice their size (and winning obviously!), or simply passing out and waking up somewhere completely different. Some jumpy bits that get your heart beating a little faster than usual, extremely convincing acting on Neeson, Diane Kruger, and January Jones’ (can’t get over how awesome her name is!) part, combined with an intelligent twist at the end, leaves you with the feeling that you got your money’s worth. All in all, we’d say that it’s definitely one worth seeing, especially if you’re in the mood for a bit of a thrill!
