I don't generally feel the desire to write reviews, but 20minutes in I already had an endless list of issues...
It was advertised: "If you enjoyed 'Taken' you'll love this!" - I should sue for false advertising, because I did enjoy that, and if I never see this again I won't be disappointed!
Minds are mysterious things, and I more often than not work out what is going to happen after 10 or fifteen minutes, this can be said for "Unknown".
It isn't difficult, it's all been done before (and done better), it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat (just as well, you may fall asleep...) - it should be called "Pointless" - because that is exactly what it was, except for:
Some decent car chases, locations, fight scenes and some reasonable acting.
Too many coincidences, lucky timing, and many obvious ways out/things that could help ignored - just silly.
Though why - as a scientist Neeson had to be American (I can't abide his fake accent) - he could've been from anywhere, especially as the "baddie" element where supposed to be European based.
Mildly entertaining, but no "Taken".
