A different take on the identity crysis plot of "The Bourne Identity", Jaumet Collet-Serra's "Unknown" pretty much borrows every trick in the book in crafting a similarly satisfying thriller, that's still somehow devoid of the thrilling edge that made the Matt Damon starrer an international hit. Liam Neeson ('Taken') proves once more that he can play a convincing action hero as a man who awakens from a coma, only to discover he's identity has been taken and nobody believe him. Serra, whose previous works include "Orphan" and "House of Wax" puts on a stylish show that will entertain you for the duration, but its shallowness will probably prevent you from watching this twice. Consider renting it.
