The character portrayed by Liam Neeson, famously known for his role in “Taken”, is on his way to meet Max…yet he fails to recognize himself as an action icon. In the movie released in 2011 titled ““, Neeson plays a man who wakes up from a coma with no memory of his identity. The peculiar twist is that no one else seems to recall him either. Another individual has even claimed to be who he believes he once was. Although the plot might seem a bit puzzling, it’s actually quite straightforward. The film provides an opportunity for Neeson to transition smoothly from a scared ordinary man to the tough action hero we’re all accustomed to.
Under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra, who recently achieved significant acclaim with the action-packed Netflix release “Carry-On” over the holidays, the film “Unknown” will be gracing our screens on February 1st. Starring alongside Liam Neeson are Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, and Frank Langella. The movie is an adaptation of the 2003 French novel by Didier Van Cauwelaert titled “Out of My Head,” penned for the silver screen by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell. Here’s a look at the official synopsis for the film:
(Synopsis below)
(Official synopsis follows here)
Following a severe car crash in Berlin, Dr. Martin Harris finds himself in a whirlwind of confusion. His spouse, unrecognizable to him, denies any knowledge of him; another man has assumed his identity, and ominous assassins pursue him relentlessly. The authorities dismiss his pleas for help, leaving him to navigate the turmoil on his own. With an unexpected accomplice (Diane Kruger), Martin plunges headfirst into a puzzling scenario that will test the limits of his determination to uncover the truth.
‘Unknown’ Was Met With Mixed Reactions at the Time
Despite earning an impressive $136 million at the box office, outstripping its production budget of $30 million, the action thriller “Unknown” faced a tough time with critics. It garnered a mixed response from both critics and viewers, with a score of 56% and 55%, respectively. Critics’ consensus was that Liam Neeson gave a commendable performance, but “Unknown” fell short due to being overly derivative and implausible, failing to fully capitalize on its interesting concept.
If what you’re after is an intense action-thriller featuring a commanding performance by Liam Neeson, then “Unknown” might be just the ticket once it arrives on the streaming service Max next month.
Liam Neeson hints at a potential retirement from action movies, but it seems that such a move is not imminent since he has numerous high-octane projects underway. Upcoming for Neeson are the lead roles in the thriller “Cold Storage” and the action sequel “The Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky,” as well as films like “Mongoose” and “Hotel Tehran.” Additionally, he’ll be lending his action skills with a touch of humor for the remake of “The Naked Gun,” produced by Akiva Schaffer from “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” and Seth MacFarlane.
