I found this one to be quite entertaining. The play between the characters accomplishes great suspense in who is good and who is bad. I don't usually like twists because they always seem forced, but this had some pretty good ones as far as that goes.
Quite good film this! It?s got a great story with lots of twists and turns. It?s got elements of Reservoir Dogs, Cube and memento in it but it still remains fairly original. The cast do a fine job but it could have done with a more experienced director.
Imagine waking up in an abandoned warehouse, not knowing who you are, or having any idea of how you got there. Trapped - with no exit. This is the case for the five strangers in this movie - Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, Joe Pantoliano, Jeremy Sisto, and Barry Pepper.

Decent suspense thriller about a couple of men waking up in a remote, locked factory being injured and without a memory. While their mistrust about which ones among them are criminals and victims is sometimes a little too tiresomely vicious, the movie keeps you guessing rather ni...( read more)
It's The Usual suspects meets Saw. It's a gripping and electrifying, edge of your seat thriller. Exciting and thrilling with amazing twist and turns that will keep you guessing right till the very end. Smart, compelling and spellbinding. Ingenious with explosive suspense that wil...( read more)
Was a 7/10 until the last 15 minutes or so of the film. Very intriging but the ending really lacked. Not a good pay-off.
Kind of like Saw but without the torture. Ending has like three plot twists but could have done with just two. Mostly enjoyable though.
Dozens of twists and turns along the lines of The Usual Suspects and Momento. Liked it almost all the way up until the ending when Caviezel has one more flashback. It just leaves you hanging there not knowing what side he's really playing on.
Unknown is far from a perfect movie, but it's more amusing than many better-made ones. full review
To kill 80 minutes, the movie has to pad itself with several dull speeches and stagy moments. full review
@ rookie1987 review:
You basically said the movie was at best OK, yet you gave it 3 and a half stars? That doesnt even make sense. Youre rating would indicate that you thought the movie was GOOD.
I swear, there are ALOT of people on this site that have NO clue how to rate a movie. No wonder films that are really BAD still somehow get 4 stars...
Yeah not a bad movie for a lower budget B movie the cast was good, the story could have been better i like the twist at the end, it is worth seeing!!
