Unknown

Unknown, is an action movie starring Liam Neeson. The movie was great because it has more hand combat compared to using gadgetry in fighting scenes. Good old ass-kicking. However, at the start of the movie, Liam doesn’t posses ‘a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career’.

The general story of this movie is Liam’s character, Dr. Martin Harris, comes to Berlin, with his wife, Elizabeth, as a speaker at a Bio Tech conference. Upon arriving at the hotel, Martin realises his suitcase is not with him and could be at the airport. However, on the way to the airport, he encounters an accident. The driver, Gina, ran away while Martin is treated by the medical team. He was in a coma and woken up to find his identity has been stolen by another person, his wife doesn’t recognise him. No one could vouch for him in Berlin. The only person he could trust at that point was Rodney Cole, his friend/colleague/boss, whom Martin called. Martin goes through great lengths to prove that he really is Dr. Martin Harris. When he returned to the hotel, he goes to find his wife but, suddenly, his wife doesn't recognise him and another Dr. Martin Harris appears. Martin is sure it is a lie. But then with quick thinking, he says he needs to get back to the hospital. He goes back to the hospital, with the help of the nurse, she gave Martin a contact that can help him. Her contact, Ernst Jurgen, can find what he needs. The doctor wanted to check Martin's MRI, however, they are attack by an assassin. The assassin drugged Martin. However, Martin manage to escape. He tries to piece the puzzle together and remembered the taxi drive, Gina (played by Diane Kruger). And he tracks her down, she doesn't wants to help but end up helping him. Martin thinks his wife is threatened. However, it was learned that she's part of the bad guy. They (Elizabeth and the copycat Martin) were there to robbed Prof. Bressler of his research. They were hired by anonymous employer (makes you wonder, could this lead to Unknown sequel? To find out who the anonymous employer is?). Ernst helps Martin. It is revealed that the plan was to kill the prince that contributes to the conference. Rodney appeared in Berlin and meets Ernst. Ernst reveals that his investigation led him to find out of a secret operation where Rodney and his team infiltrate the conference. It's a covert team that are rarely heard by people. Ernst, a war person himself, reveals to Rodney and ask what happens if Martin knows? And Ernst commits suicide by taking cyanide. Rodney meets Martin at the airport and kidnaps him. Gina saw the kidnapping and followed. Rodney tells Martin the truth and says that Martin was his best before he hit his head and think he really was Martin Harris. Gina comes and rescues. Martin realises that he used to be a spy and he didn't like what he knows. But Gina convince Martin to stop his initial mission at Berlin. Martin goes back to the hotel. It is revealed, however, that the plan was not to kill the prince, but was to use it as a cover up to steal Bressler's research. His research was creating crops that can grow in harsh environments.

At the party, Elizabeth downloads Bressler's files from his laptop by using Bressler's password (the flower names in Martin's book, which is also his daughter's name). Martin tells the hotel security the story and check old recordings of him when Elizabeth and Martin was in Berlin. As Martin interrupts, and the plan of bombing the suite fails, Elizabeth goes back to off the bomb, but she failed. The bomb causes the hotel suite to blow up and damages to the hotel. Martin and the copycat Martin gets into a fight. As Martin hits his head, he gets his memory back. And he tells the copycat, "I didn't forget everything. I still remember how to kill you!".

Going for a sequel? It might be possible if there was an expansion of other characters that may be involved with Liam’s character. And perhaps to answer, who was the anonymous employer of Martin's mission?
