Neeson kicks even more butt in 'Unknown'
A couple of years ago, Liam Neeson starred as a former CIA agent in ``Taken,'' searching for his kidnapped daughter and kicking as much butt as necessary to find her.
Now, he's continuing this fascinating late-career path, remaining in action-star mode as he creeps ever closer to 60, in ``Unknown.'' It's a chilly little thriller about amnesia, mistrust and lost identity, with the kinds of chases and explosions you've seen countless times before. Interchangeable Euro baddies lurk in the shadows, seemingly omniscient and omnipresent, waiting to strike. Nothing and no one is what it seems, which makes the unpredictability somewhat more predictable.
Still, Neeson's always-intelligent screen presence, his nuance and gravitas, help elevate ``Unknown'' beyond its preposterous elements. And he gets great help from a classy supporting cast, including Frank Langella, Bruno Ganz and Sebastian Koch.
