Unknown
Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) and his wife Elizabeth (January Jones) are in Berlin for a controversial bio-engineering convention when a tragic accident puts Martin in the hospital with a head injury. Released from the hospital Harris discovers he has mysteriously been replaced with an imposter (Aidan Quinn) who also claims to be Dr. Harris. Confused and frustrated Dr. Harris must go through unconventional means to discover why he’s being replaced and what the bigger picture really is.
A strong cast keeps this spy/espionage/thriller alive. But, I’ll be quick to point out, twist and all, there’s not a lot new in this one; so, zero points for originality. Still, from an entertainment stand point of view, the film does what it sets out to do. Despite its short comings and implausibilities, I found myself invested until the end. Perhaps a matinee or a rental. Unknown is rated PG-13.
