Unknown, honestly, in my opinion, is a less psychological version of The Shutter Island. The concept of Shutter Island is copied to create a Spy and Secret Agent movie. It does well, no doubt. It starts off well, too, and takes us on a surprising ride. Liam Neeson, as always, was exceptional, strong in his character. However, far from his best.
There is a middle muddle in the story. The first 30 minutes is engaging, the last 20 minutes is surprising. The middle, at times, gets complex. Could have done much better in the middle.
When I watch Liam Neeson movies, I tend to see the names could have been better considering the story. Here, I feel, Identity suits more.
Overall, it is just fine. A Bit of Ava in the middle, Non-stop in the first half, shutter island towards the end. Had I watched more Spy movies, must have given better examples. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Secret Service Genre movies although crime genre keeps me engaging.
