review: unknown

lian neeson hits the box office once again in a kick-ass, high concept thriller. unknown follows liam neeson as he tries to figure out just what happened to him after a car accident in germany. when he wakes up from a post-accident coma, his world is turned upside down. he claims to be dr. martin harris, but when he tracks down his wife at their hotel, she has no idea who he is - and there's another man there claiming to be martin harris. what follows is neeson's high speed chase to track down just what happened to him, all the while out-smarting a group of mysterious men trying to kill him. the movie's plot kept me guessing the whole time, but the ending was more than disappointing. the resolution is surprising, but leaves a lot of questions unanswered. the upside is you get to see neeson kick some ass (though not as much, and not as well, as in taken), and there are multiple edge-of-your-seat car chases to keep your attention. the worst part of the flick? january jones' acting. as neeson's secret-keeping wife, her expression and delivery are always the same. it's like she doesn't care whether or not she's being entertaining. definitely check out unknown if you're looking for an action/thriller, but don't expect too much.
