What to Know

Critics Consensus

Liam Neeson elevates the proceedings considerably, but Unknown is ultimately too derivative -- and implausible -- to take advantage of its intriguing premise.

Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com 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... Rated: 2.1/2 Jun 24, 2011 Full Review William Goss Film.com 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. Jun 21, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Along with wanting humor, Unknown’s lacking sense of romance leaves the audience with nothing to root for except the promise that, by the end, Neeson will deliver some knockout blows to the bad guys. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault This is a by-the-numbers thriller, in which nothing is what it seems, but nothing is what it seems in pretty much the way you’d expect, if that makes sense. Rated: C Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Fans of Neeson's Weaponized Old Guy roles will be sated by the times he goes mano a mano. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Charles L Very Good engaging Movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Líder7reynier à My favorite Liam Neeson movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Bruno V Em uma escala em que a roteirização e a atuação dos personagens me faz focar na dinâmica dos fatos; porém a rapidez em que as coisas vão acontecendo, isso não ascende a suspensão da descrença. Esse filme é mais um que deveria ser uma série. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Lesterberne T Very solid movie. Lost half a star because of all the unnecessary car chase scenes that are only there to lessen the strength of the plot. The mystery was great, the actions of the MC are realistic and we had a character that asked the right questions to solve the mystery (no bullshit no stupidity). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Grace T Compelling story replete with psy op plot twists and car chases. I enjoyed it! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Scott S Surprisingly good. Good story and Liam Nielsen playing the same entertaining role you've come to enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
