Reviews

Majikat An enjoyable film from start to finish, twists and turns and plenty of action, similarities to a Harrison Ford film, if I recall correctly.

ildsol The build-up is exciting: Someone has stolen the identity and life of the protagonist ... or is he, himself, going insane? Martin Harris (the ever reliable Liam Neeson) explains the struggle in his mind as: "a war between being told who you are and knowing who you are." The premise is followed by great action scenes and twists and turns to keep you guessing most of the way. A movie like this, however, ends well by keeping suspension of disbelief on a tight leash, for the viewer to really invest emotionally. The third act, unfortunately, looses the grip. Where genre classics like The Fugitive (1993) and The Game (1997) held the viewer fast to the heart-pounding end, Unknown Identity ends up increasingly far-fetched, and it eventually couldn't keep me truly caring about the story.6/10

Meme This is one of my go to action movies, let me start off by saying the lighting in the movie and its editing is so clear and beautiful, kudos to the crew. I love Liam Neeson in action movies especially after Taken, he is always believable in his role. The supporting cast is equally good in their parts especially Diane Kruger and January Jones. It is a fun watch shot beautifully, it deserves a viewing.

fr8nk I asked 11 people to watch this movie and pause it after 45 minutes and try to think of a scenario to explain what has happened. Not one person could do it. I couldn't either. In the last 30 minutes of the movie you are given a perfect explanation to describe the events. This movie is extremely clever and very well done. I thought it was one of the 5 best movies of the year. If you think you are good at analyzing movies and foreseeing endings, I challenge you to figure out where this movie is heading. The ending is unpredictable and very rewarding. If you are a fan of Liam Neeson, this movie is a must see. I've watched it six times and I am still pulled into on each viewing.
