... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreFive men wake up in a locked-down warehouse with no memory of who they are. They are forced to figure out who is good and who is bad to stay alive. My biggest problem with the film "Unknown" is that it wasted a very talented cast of actors that can actually act in a plot that we have seen before many times before such as "Saw" except that this time there isn't a creepy doll or some old creepy killer. If you have big expectations for this movie you will definitely be disappointed because except the fact that the plot is very thin, the characters are one note and the pacing is boring it's just not a well made movie that tries to be way too many thinks in once.
... View More'Unknown' is a low budget independent Psycho-thriller. The setting of the story is 5 men wake up with amnesia, some injured, some not, in a derelict warehouse which is locked from the outside; While this might sound like a 'Saw' rip-off, it's most definitely not,it's more like an Agatha Christie's Whodunit mystery without the Tuxedos. The Script is pretty good with frequent twists and turns and left me guessing till the end; although the interactions between the 5 main characters was more than a bit unbelievable.The movie has a strong cast led by Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear and Barry Pepper with a cameo from the always good Peter Stormare. I found the movie to be far better thriller than I expected. Very Watchable.
... View More***SPOILERS*** Waking up from what seemed like a drug induced sleep Dreamy Eyes, James Caviezel, finds himself locked in a deserted wear-house with four other persons. There's Crew-cut, Berry Pepper, Glasses, Joe Pantoliano, Broken Nose, Greg Kinnear, and handcuffed, Jeremy Sisto, who's got himself stuck hanging on the railing with a bullet lodged in his chest. As all five men slowly regain consciousness they can't remember who they are and why they all ended up there! But it's Dreamy Eyes in answering a phone call in the wear-house's office who starts to put the pieces together in his and the four confused men with him's minds.As it turns out Dreamy Eyes and those with him had something to do with a kidnapping which must have gone wrong when the victim and possibly his bodyguard tried to make a brake for it. In doing that they set off an explosion of chemicals that caused everyone, the kidnapped and the kidnappers, to lose their memories! Dreamy Eyes as well as those with him knows that if something goes wrong and the ransom money isn't paid to the kidnappers lead by the snakeskin booted Big Buba,Peter Stormare, and his crew of cut throat's that consists of Uzi, Ben Bray, Iron Cross, Jeffery Daniel Philips, and Pony-Tail, Thomas Rosales Jr, they'll be hell to pay. In the kidnapped victim and his bodyguards getting offed by Big Buba and his crew when they come back to the wear-house empty-handed! The problem is who's the kidnapped and who's part of the kidnapped crew among the five who can't remember just who they are!***SPOILERS**** With a trap set at the payoff drop point by the police Big Buba and his boys end up eluding capture and head straight for the warehouse where they plan to murder the kidnap victims anyway. It's the cops who without Big Buba realizing it who've got the upper hand on him and his gang by having a mole, undercover policeman, among those in the wear-house. Someone that Big Buba & Co. trusted to make sure that their kidnapped victims are kept safe until he and his boys arrive. It's when the four man, minus Handcuffed who by then had expired from his gunshot wounds, started to regain their memories that sides were drawn for the final confrontation when Big Buba and the boys finally show up!Confusing as hell of a movie in trying to figure just who's who, among the kidnappers and kidnapped, in the wear-house which only Big Buba and his crew really know. Even after all the dust cleared it took a while to figure out what exactly was going on in that your kept guessing with an unexpected and extra bonus thrown in to scramble your already scrambled brains. That's in the undercover policeman having a lot more to do with the kidnap victim then even those who knew, Big Buba and the police, about it. He was secretly having and affair with the kidnap victims wife, Bridget Moynahan, while trying to rescue her husband. This suddenly hits him, the undercover policeman, when she in embracing her just rescued husband winks at him! And the undercover cop with the chemicals that made him forget everything now completely worn off, and him finally getting his head together, winks back! That together with the ransom money that he had on him and was prepared to split with her that he now decided to return to her husband!
... View MoreThis is a great movie, it dose sound a little bit like SAW but it nothing like it at all.Five men wake up and can not remember who they are or how they got, their and soon find out that some of them are Kidnappers and some are Hostages and they don't who's who.Their are few disagreements with two of the men and they soon find out, how their memory were erased.There was a really good twist, which I did not see coming at all, there so another twist they i don't fully understand at the end, which i think was one twist too many.The acting was great from the whole cast and I going to give this movie 8 out of 10
