After Liam Neeson's work in Taken, I was excited for his next action movie...he's become quite the action star. Overall, UNKNOWN was entertaining even despite some annoying flaws. There are really only 3 things that bothered me about this film: 1) January Jones cannot act. She's as wooden as a board in every scene...same as her role X-Men First Class. 2) Some of the things Neeson's character forgets and remembers were silly and a little too "convenient" for my taste. I get that he had memory loss, but I don't like it when films take advantage of that fact to force an interesting plot. 3) The ending was a bit much too...if I can forgive a "convenient" story line, the least you can do is give me a strong, original ending. I've seen it before. It fit, but it fits other movies too, and in the end I felt like I had watched a mash-up of movies I had already seen before.
