Review of Unknown

Unknown (I) (2011)
10/10
Perfect thriller
9 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Very exciting film. I am particularly fond of 'european' touch and atmosphere presented, being living in the eastern Europe, film looked very domestic and familiar. Instead of skyscrapers, you find miniature flats with "carton walls" and modest middle-class cars on the street; hearing authentic language and behaving dialogs on the glimpse; the set is ready, turn-on the camera, please. The story was original up to a fair point, and kept all of my attention throughout entire film. The acting of a lead actor is natural as always, and supporting characters are also good, although pushed into a second plan; with no artificial kindness of any sort in between (Gina: "Why did you have to be in my Taxi!?"; or Ernst:"The Money!").

The 4-day vacuum, gloomy outlook for the lead and general suspense were dominant feelings for less then 2 hours of a great adventure. This is a perfect thriller for me and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes this genre. 10/10
