Unknown movie review

I am not good in writing a movie review but still excited to write something about the pictures I love. I am going to start with the Hollywood Flick "Unknown" though I am not a die hard fan of Hollywood I make sure I don't miss any decent films. I basically love Tamil and Malayalam movies and all the other languages come second. But of later I am in love with Hollywood movies too, movies such as The holiday, The curious case of Benjamin button and Inception made me go crazy over the Hollywood flicks. These movies are very very inspiring for any aspiring film makers, it makes one believe that there are endless ways to tell a story and there are endless stories to tell.

I actually went to watch the movie knowing just one thing that its a story of mistaken identity, I had not even seen a trailer or even a poster of the film. It was booked by a friend of mine and I was more than happy to enjoy a Hollywood night show.

Cast:

Review:

The movie starts to grip within the first 15 mins of the start. Its a story about a man who visits Berlin with his wife but soon meets with an accident alone and forgets things about him, when remembers the reason why he is in Berlin and traces his wife she refuses to accept that he is his husband, he doest understand why she is rejecting him and to his surprise there is another man in the same name who pretends to be him, he even has a passport and all other documents to support that he is her husband. Soon he understands that there are people behind him to kill him. He desperately tries to prove the officials who he his but all his attempts goes in vein. To solve the confusion he meets an old man refereed by a nurse in the hospital who takes care of him during his short stay in a Berlin Hospital. The old man is a former soviet spy, he helps to understand why there are people after him and why there is someone staying with his wife in his name, but soon the old man commits suicide!

This is a very gripping story of identity thief with some great twist. A great performance by the entire casts, especially by Liam Neeson and Bruno Ganz.

I enjoyed watching this and will rate this as one of the best Hollywood thrillers that I have ever seen
