The Neeson Also Rises

Unknown
Memory Lapzzzzzzze
Official Website | Trailers & Mo

What is unknown in Unknown is best left unknown.  Not cause telling you would ruin the unknowing fun, but cause once you do know the unknown knowningess that’s not known to recently memory-impaired Liam Neeson that eventually will be known to him, you’ll know juss how stoopid you felt waiting for some sorta awesome knowing reveal to happen, but being in this know is more of a groan than a known.  Know whatta we mean???? You don’t know what we mean, but let it be known that you won’t be as taken with Unknown has you were with Neeson’s Taken!

And yet, regardless of how un-kick-ass and silly director Jaume Collet-Serra‘s Unknown is, we dont want to unknow that we saw Unknown.  Even if January Jones‘sss acting chops make Scarlett Johansson’s look like Katharine Hepburn’s!  Even if fine German actress Diane Kruger is sporting some horrid Eastern European accent when the movie takes place in her home country!!  Even if a solid collection of co-stars like Bruno Ganz, Sebastian Koch, Aidan Quinn and Frank Langella play along with the cloak and daggery that’s more like clunk and slaggery!!!  Put some less charismatic actor in the Neeson role and the results wouldn’t be unknown, they would be unwatchable, but Neeson = watchable.  He’s the reason that despite Jar Jar Stinks, 9 hour pod races and the stoopid kiddie kid stuff in Episode 1: Phantom Menace, it’s the only remotely decent Star Wars prequel, cause Neeson brings class to things that suck a$$

Neeson!!!!

Needsome Neeson!: skip Unknown, and get to know these 3 lesser-known Neeson flicks… Five Minutes of Heaven, Breakfast On Pluto and The Dead Pool (not a little known film, but did you remember that Liam was in it???)

Verdictgo: Neeson Merit But No Stinkin Badges

Unknown knows not much today at a theater near jews

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
