Undoubtedly, Neeson has since been offered action vehicles similar to that PG kidnapping flick. And he seems to have accepted one in Unknown , which also casts him as an American abroad in Europe determined to fend off deadly opposition and restore his family to normalcy.
Trying to retrieve a bag left behind at the airport, Martin is separated from his wife and gets into a serious car accident.
Martin's life is saved by his cabbie Gina Diane Kruger , but he still is hospitalized and comatose for days. When he gets up and out, his wife claims not to know him. And there is another man Aidan Quinn answering to his name, with the identification and knowledge to back it up.
Suffering amnesia from the trauma of his car accident and faced with convincing evidence to the contrary, Martin begins to doubt his version of the story, despite having vivid memories of life with Liz and his reason for being in Germany.
With skilled individuals clearly out to end his life, Martin hires a local private investigator Bruno Ganz and reteams with jumpy Gina, an illegal Bosnian immigrant struggling to make ends meet, in hopes of making sense of the bizarre predicament he finds himself in with little money and no identification.
Meanwhile, apparently in cahoots with his pursuers, Martin's old friend Rodney Cole Frank Langella flies over to him with questionable motives and some stunning revelations. Whereas Taken put Neeson on the trail of his daughter's abductors, having him go fisticuffs and deliver flesh wounds as needed, Unknown puts him on the other side of the chase, endangered and more keen on escaping to safety than returning fire and putting up a fight.
That design is easier to make peace with and values mystery over violence. While the intrigue may be somewhat standard issue, the framework is effective, with Martin's seemingly stolen identity dilemma being laid out in compelling fashion. With that achieved, the movie doesn't need to do much more to sustain interest. Bad guys pursuing an apparently good one is a tried and true formula, and the familiar forms the pursuit takes automobiles, a nightclub walk are suitably realized by Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra.
For as long as it can, the film delays the confrontations that Taken renders inevitable. That may not delight those itching to be shown that lively hand-to-hand combat knows no age limit nowadays, an argument the nearly year-old Neeson and over Aidan Quinn eventually and convincingly make.
