Unknown stars Liam Neeson as Dr. Martin Harris. Harris arrives in Berlin with his wife, Elizabeth. As he is unloading his bags from the taxi, Harris realizes he has left his briefcase with his passport at the airport. While on the return trip to the airport, his taxi is in an accident and lands in the river. Harris wakes up in the hospital with no identification and fractured memories. He leaves the hospital, greets his wife at the hotel to discover she doesn't know him and there is an other Dr. Martin Harris (Aidan Quinn) complete with proper identification. Harris questions if he gone crazy or suffering with an incomplete memory. He starts to track down the truth with the help of a former East German spy. There are car chases, car crashes, killings, and other acts of violence. Along the way, there are twists and turns in the plot. Neeson is very good as Harris but the movie drags in a few places and the story line gets technical, far fetched and confusing. Unknown held my attention but it definitely not one of my favorite Neeson movies.
