Unknown Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Unknown" obviously knows its limitations, and it doesn't bother to rise above them. It just keeps throwing the punches the audience wants and expects. It won't cure world hunger, but chances are it will sell a lot of popcorn.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The cat-and-mouse game that the filmmakers are playing with us is only partially successful because this thriller is only intermittently thrilling. Instead of being captivated by the twist and turns, we're more likely to be rankled.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
While elements of this one are downright awesome, the final product is sadly forgettable, and for all its strengths it's doubtful this is one I'll be talking about one way or the other come the end of the year.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
The elements are there - a (mostly) strong ensemble, an interesting concept, an intriguing location, a promising director - but the film never comes together because the script needed one more rewrite that it just never received.

Leonard Maltin
In the French-made, English-language sleeper Taken, Liam Neeson was a former CIA operative who was (outlandishly) able to thwart a sex-trafficking ring. Audiences responded vociferously to his take-charge character. His latest film, Unknown...
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
This is no more (but no less?) than what we have rather oddly come to expect from Neeson in his late period (Taken, The A-Team) -- not quite a riddle wrapped in an enigma, just a paycheck gig cloaked in an actioner, moonlighting as a travelogue.
Film.com
William Goss
May eventually surrender to convention and implausibility in equal measure, but until then, Collet-Serra grounds the conspiracy with a proper sense of mystery and mood.
The New Yorker
David Denby
For about an hour or so, "Unknown" is intriguing.
NPR
Jeannette Catsoulis
Neeson's comforting intelligence (and a marvelous turn by Bruno Ganz as an ailing former member of the East German secret police), are not enough to prevent the film from choking on obviousness and directorial fumbling.
Chicago Reader
Michael Wilmington
The snow and haze that Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra keeps pumping into the street scenes seem to have drifted into the script as well.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
For some reason thrillers always have detours into nightclubs with pulsing music -- what is the deal with these, some sort of physical manifestation of the internal chaos?
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Despite its A-movie aspirations, as the chases continue and the plot holes widen, Unknown quickly settles into the familiar B-movie comfort zone.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
As long as filmgoers come to "Unknown" unencumbered by a need for plausibility, this handsome, well-paced production possesses its share of twisty, visceral pleasures.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Plot holes you can drive a truck through are ultimately less important for your enjoyment than how they set up the film's big set pieces.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A stylish and muscular thriller with some nifty twists and turns, a wicked sense of humor, several terrific performances and not one or even two but three of the best car chases in recent action-flick history.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
On a minute-to-minute level, it's an engaging mystery, the kind that rewards our participation with eye candy and adrenaline shots.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
Neeson is always magnetic, though, even when he's just repeating his Taken performance and delivering cheesy one-liners, as he is eventually required to do here.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
When the dots are connected (sort of), Unknown still doesn't make much sense.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Neeson has a way of getting upset - a frantic purposefulness - that fills viewers with both empathy and anticipation: He's so miserable that we care.
