Unknown is an OK movie that could have been a lot better. The movie has lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing about what is going on. Unforuntately, the last part of the movie is not very good. It almost seems like the writers of this script spent so much time and effort building up the movie that they either ran out of ideas for the end or there was pressure just to finish the movie and get it released.
There is much to like. Liam Neesen is excellent as usual. He does a great job portraying a man who no one seems to recognize. Diane Kruger also gives a strong performance. The action scenes are very good.
The last part of the movie just does not match up to the thrilling first parts. I thought the final revelations of why Neesen's character went through what he did this were very weak.
The PG 13 rating is appropriate. Lots of violence, not a lot of swearing, no explicit nudity but some scenes of a man and woman taking a shower together.
In summary, Unknown is worth seeing as a matinée or as a movie rental, but not at nighttime movie prices.
