What would you do if you woke up from a coma not remembering who you are? What would you do if no one came looking for you? Liam Neeson (“Taken,” “The Chronicles of Narnia”) brings yet another action-packed movie that will leave the audience questioning everyone and everything, while being blown away at the end.

“Unknown” follows Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) on his way to a convention when he gets into a car accident. He awakens from a coma four days later. Setting out to find his wife Liz (January Jones), Harris realizes she doesn’t recognize him and is married to a different man (Aidan Quinn) claiming to be him. With the help of a stranger (Diane Kruger), Harris uncovers the real reason behind his journey to the convention, and why someone would want to take his place. And so the task of proving that he is the real Martin Harris begins.

Mysterious plot adds suspense

There are plenty of car chases, fight-to-the-deaths and explosions in “Unknown” to make it worthwhile. The story is good, with enough drama and suspense to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat until the last five minutes. Between the people chasing Harris to his flashback memories, the viewer is left mystified until the latter part of the film. It was hard to determine who was real and who was faking, not to mention that the proverbial good guys and bad guys were also hard to tell apart.

“Unknown” worth seeing for action junkies

“Unknown” was entertaining, clear-cut and very enjoyable. I was excited to see this because Neeson was playing the title character and it did seem similar to Neeson’s predecessor “Taken”. “Unknown” has a right of its own and is definitely worth seeing if you’re an action junky like me. And for those of you who prefer a little less fighting and a little more storyline, this would also be for you –– though it is intense throughout. The film is good, but is not for the faint of heart.
