![]() ![]() ![]() UNKNOWN has a familiar look and feel to its storyline and few things that take place during the running time will come as a real surprise. ![]() Thematically, though, I was most reminded of the excellent Roman Polanski thriller FRANTIC, which saw Harrison Ford searching for his missing wife in Paris. Then there are the plot twists and turns, and the whole amnesic storyline which brings THE BOURNE IDENTITY to mind. Neeson's trapped in Europe again, fending off various bad guys, although this is far from being an action movie the fight scenes, unlike those in TAKEN, aren't up to much. The film it most obviously recalls is TAKEN, the top-notch action flick which reinvented Neeson as an action star. Having just watched the movie, it failed to fulfil any of my expectations and turned out to be a rather unappetising mix of three rather more recent films. At first glance, this seems to be a slightly supernatural thriller about a man being haunted by his own doppelganger, bringing to mind the Roger Moore flick THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF. UNKNOWN is one of those silly films which rehashes the same themes and plots of other, better movies in an attempt to make some money, instead of thinking up new, original concepts.
