Review of Unknown

Unknown (I) (2011)
6/10
Jason Bourne's retarded cousin
23 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This movie would have felt more original before Jason Bourne hit the screen, but we already have one black-op operative with amnesia out there. I truly wonder if anyone mentioned the similarities when this being proposed. Granted, there is a good plot twist when he is told who and what he is, but smart people would have noticed something wrong when he drives like a professional, and fights as if he'd been trained to. Just like Bourne. I did not find very many original concepts in this movie, and once I make the comparison to JB (sorry, I mean Bourne, not James Bond or Jack Bauer ... JB is just a good set of initials for this sort of thing I guess!) - I kept thinking that there was more ingenuity in the Bourne movies, and a lot more investment in character development. This movie is watchable. ... Barely. And I have no desire to watch it again.
