Review of Unknown

Unknown (I) (2011)
4/10
Why take a good story, and great acting talent, and make a terrible movie?
3 January 2021
I can't fault the acting, or the plot. But when making a "spy movie," it would be nice if future filmmakers would avoid the following: obviously leaving a piece of luggage behind at the airport; traffic jams at the worst possible moment; refrigerators falling off of delivery trucks immediately ahead, on alternate route; motorcycles appearing out of nowhere on the wrong side of the road; bridge guardrails that don't provide protection against out of control vehicles; streetcars/light rail trains that hit cars; cars flipping upside down; drivers becoming suddenly able to drive backwards very fast on sidewalks; amnesia...

I really can't go on. This movie had all this, and more. Such a shame, that with better screenwriting, and a little (ok, a lot) of editing, this could have been a great movie. As it is, it was barely watchable, involving a lot of yelling at the screen (that was from me).
