“Unknown” is an action thriller soon to be a classic.

The film sets viewers on a mental quest to depict what would happen next and at times it is so unpredictable that it would even bewilder the great Sherlock Homes.

Based on the novel “Out of My Head” by Didier van Cauwelaert, “Unknown” follows Dr. Martin Harris’ journey to reclaim his identity after a mishap during a trip to Berlin for a biotechnology convention.

Harris, played by Liam Neeson, soon sees that his quest is not as easy as he must overcome obstacles such as his benedictory wife, unbelieving German authorities, and several assassins trying to kill him for some reason he does not know.

The film was developed in such a great way as for every action and exciting scenes; the build-up was well constructed and presented in a way that several angles could be interpreted.

It begins slowly, although once the nucleus of the film starts to emerge it is full of action-packed sequences, accompanied by small clips of humor every now and then, including seeing a couple having sexual intercourse during a fatal altercation.

This movie is appealing for those who enjoy well-developed plots interlaced with lots of action.

It includes the necessary products needed for a great film such as action, violence and femme fatales.

Diane Kruger portrays the hardworking and assisting Gina, while January Jones portrays the stunning yet twisted Elizabeth Harris.

Jones’ role was probably the least significant of the main characters, however, just a few of her lines provided the basis for the entire movie such as, “Do I know you?”

Germany was the perfect setting for this movie because it gives the viewer a look at a world that is foreign to many of them and it increased the understanding for the difficulty of the situation that Harris would have to go through.

The is a great movie and leaves the viewer craving a sequel due to the ambiguity that arises about the futures for both Gina and Harris.
