Knock-out punch missing - Poet
This movie puts on a good fight. It is not very long, it is well paced and the actors all carry their part quite well. Unfortunately, there is no knock-out punch. The end comes and the viewer is left dazed wondering what happened. It could have been so much better, but the rug gets pulled out from under us too quickly.Average mystery/thriller. - KeithTalent
Hmm, let's see, this is sort of a non-sci-fi, sausage-fest, version of Cube, with mildly better acting and much less interesting execution. So five guys wake up in a warehouse with no memory of what happened to them, some of them tied up and some of them not. So the guys spend the next 60 minutes trying to figure out who they are, why they are there, and attempting to escape. Some twists and turns along the way, a couple of which were ok, but others that sucked. Overall it's not horrible, but it could have been much better in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing.Great Premise - zaakistan
A puzzle piece ala Memento, Unknown draws on the idea that people are essentially good or evil. The premise of the film is intriguing as it gives each one a clean conscience, but in an environment of fear.
Five bloodied men awake in a chemical fog in a warehouse with acute amnesia. It becomes quickly apparent that some of them kidnapped the others, but none can recall who was who. They attempt to piece events together as time runs out.
The acting in the film was excellent, giving the equally terrific script fullness in each graceful turn. The editing was subtle and engaging with its brief mental images as the men begin to recall their pasts.
