Liam Neeson returns to Berlin for ‘Unknown’

Liam Neeson returns to Berlin in “Unknown,” this time as scientist Martin Harris instead of Oskar Schindler.

The film is an action thriller that centers around Neeson’s character after he gets into an accident and tries to figure out why people are usurping his identity. 

The film uses some of the same tactics as other thrillers but has a very interesting twist that makes the film more enjoyable. Neeson gives an intriguing performance as the audience wonders whether he is who he says he is or if he’s crazy. 

Along with Neeson is Diane Kruger and a stellar cast of actors who help unravel the story of who the real Martin Harris is.

“Unknown” is entertaining and has enough dialogue and great acting to complement the action. The film could have used some editing, especially during a 20-minute car chase that could have been much shorter.

But the film did its job: to entertain and ignite curiosity in the viewer’s mind.
