Unknown is a truly great action thriller, and I have given it 4.5 stars. This is the latest offering from Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, House of Wax), not a name I was familiar with, but certainly someone I will be keeping an eye on after this.
The storyline is intelligently written and has enough twists and turns to keep even the most…more
