This is a half action movie + half suspense movie, but unfortunately, neither is taken care of

Uncle's version of "Bourne Identity"
I don't know how many people have seen Matt Damon's "Bourne Identity". My impression after watching "Unknown" is... Liam Neeson is simply the uncle's version of Matt damon! After waking up, he lost his memory for a short period of time, and then gradually remembered certain things... Although Dr. Martin Harris played by Liam Neeson is no longer a young man, his racing skills are top-notch, and he can drift with his tail~ It made him wonder for a long time, Who am I ?! Why can a common man kill several professional killers? While escaping, I can take a sister by the way... What do you think is the most reasonable explanation? (The answer will be revealed in the last fifteen minutes of the movie) But it is actually quite easy to guess. Many smart audiences have already guessed it in the middle of the movie...

**There are many loopholes in the script.

The excitement of this movie exists, and it has a sense of suspense. Yes, but not enough sincerity. In the first half of the movie, I was engaged in suspense for a long time. There were a lot of tense and exciting car chase scenes, and they were violently beaten in the house with cardboard walls, which made people very nervous. But when the climax of the movie came, the brilliance instantly dropped to freezing point (when Liam Neeson was about to be killed by the evil boss, the level of the whole movie changed from a B-level action movie to a Taiwanese local drama). When the ultimate mystery is revealed, although it makes people feel: "Oh ~ so it is... everything makes sense now.". But on the whole, I feel that the last twenty minutes of the movie are completely messed up. From the fight scene to the scene where the beauty saves the hero, it follows the route of Hong Kong police and bandit films in the 1990s (even the ending is very scribbled). There are a lot of loopholes in the plot. Some people advised me to let go of all reason before watching this film and not to think too much about the plot. But... I'm not watching special effects movies! What is it like to watch a drama without watching the plot? ! >.<"

**A movie about corn
...Can this paragraph be omitted? XD After watching the movie, I seemed to have a sudden realization, but at the same time, I was very foggy: "It turned out to be the fault of corn~" (I know what I'm talking about after watching the movie ^.^) Although there is nothing unreasonable about it, But I always feel like... Writer, is this the best you can do?

**Behind Liam Neeson's frequent dramas...
(heavy heart) ~ Uncle Liam Neeson married his first wife Natasha Richardson in 1994, and has two lively and smart sons, a happy family of four. Two years ago, my wife fell and hit her head while skiing in Canada. But it was all right when the incident happened. She got up and patted the snow off her body, telling everyone not to worry. But a few hours later, he experienced severe headaches and was rushed to a local hospital. An examination revealed a large blood clot in her brain, and the hospital declared her brain dead shortly after. Two days later, accompanied by her family, she passed away in New York... Liam Neeson was deeply saddened by the death of his beloved wife who had been married for fifteen years, and decided to use work to numb himself. In addition to taking care of my two sons, I am filming all year round. As a fan of Uncle, I am quite reluctant to give up. Fortunately, he still came out of the sadness... In September 2010, it was reported that he had a new relationship.

Maybe a lot of people will think that among the compliments of this film, I deliberately jumped out to sing it down (maybe there is something wrong with my aesthetics, but I just think this film is related to "Taken" and "Orphan" Much worse, not on the same level) Not to compare them, because the three films are different genres. But the other two films are well-crafted and don't feel shoddy from start to finish. This is what "Unknown" lacks, whether it's the incoherence between shots (for example, during a car chase, the rear compartment is open one second, and the rear compartment is tightly closed the next second... it's a ghost Did you close it? XD) Unreasonable in terms of plot (a character in the movie drank poison to commit suicide, and at the same time, he could talk nonsense. But in fact, the poison will attack immediately, and there will be no chance to take a breath. It’s commonplace~) And the sound effects are wrong too often, I don’t need to read the IMDB information, I can clearly hear the husband and wife going through customs at the airport at the airport, handing over two passports to be stamped, but only hear a stamp. print sound. Sorry, I also love Liam Neeson, but this "Unknown" can only be regarded as a very ordinary semi-suspense film.
