Germany, Great Britain, France 2011 (Identity Unknown) Director: Jaume Collet-Serra, starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz 111 min
"Identity Unknown" is a mediocre action movie, despite the actor Liam Neeson probably only on DVD would come out if they had not long since he nachgeschmissen € 4,778,860 at German (tax) money! They are almost five million euros!
The DFFF (German Federal Film Fund), the Autozerdeppern on Berlin streets € 4,208,860 tax money was worth. The Media Board Berlin-Brandenburg put on it again € 450,000 - the Studio Babelsberg had indeed employed as a co-producer Then there was the FFA - ie from the movie tickets - even € 120,000 rental promotion and media services! As if the film despite courting at the Berlinale is still not trusted to make their own assets a little cash! If you think, then, would anyone say that the film is quite good. This may have the 120,000 € I!
Otherwise, is "Identity Unknown" as the title suggests, a much weaker edition of "Born Identity": A killer discovers who he is and takes revenge on his employers. Thus, the plagiarism is not discovered immediately, there is a red herring in Berlin: Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) arrives with his wife Liz, provides this at Adlon Hotel on to point out again to get into the taxi - a case has been forgotten at the airport. After a serious accident rescue, the cab driver Gina (Diane Kruger), the doctor from the river, days later, Harris awoke from his coma, goes to his wife, but another has already taken his place with her and the high-level biotech conference. Harris is smart enough to hide his amazement, now a killer is on his heels and only Jenna can help him. The rest is - as I said - "Bourne Identity" in the fast-track, a lot of crap car chases on Berlin's streets and in the script is being chased Finally also the Adlon in the air, a wonderful symbol of the heating fuel from. Taxpayers' money.
In the beginning, it is hoped, "Identity Unknown" could be the Berlin version of Paris Polanski thriller "Frantic" is. However, neither the weak nor the voltage for Foreseeable Action sedated reach its level. Jaume Collet-Serra's mainstream debut after two times horror and even football-horror ("Goal 2") is several times disappointing. Liam Neeson is a shadow of himself, Kruger, the upcoming shows in "Barefoot on slugs" that they still can act, as usual, makes this little out of their role. She needed it in collaboration with a bad script even the most embarrassing records of the last Berlin Film Festival, which in any figure traumatic past to attach. Prominent and well only Bruno Ganz as mischievous and sarcastic Stasi agent Jürgen, ensure the old boy quickly for clear vision.
