Unknown Identity

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 film that came out despite leading actor Liam Neeson probably only on DVD, if he was not long ago 4.77886 million nachgeschmissen € in German (tax) money would! 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 - that of the movie tickets - even distribution funding € 120,000! 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 output "Born Identity". A killer discovers who he is and takes revenge on his employers. Thus, the plagiarism is discovered immediately, there is a red herring in Berlin: Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) arrives with his wife Liz, provides this from the Hotel Adlon to point out again to get into the taxi - a case has been forgotten at the airport. After a serious accident saved him, the cab driver Gina (Diane Kruger) 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 the end is also the Adlon in the air. chased a wonderful symbol of the heating fuel of taxpayers' money.

the beginning, one hopes, "Identity Unknown" could be the Berlin version of Paris Polanski thriller "Frantic" is. However, neither the voltage nor the predictable action sedated reach its level. But Jaume Collet-Serra's mainstream debut after two times horror and even football-horror ("Goal") comes from several disappointing. Liam Neeson is a shadow of himself, Kruger, the upcoming shows in "Barefoot on slugs" that they still can act, does this little expected from their role. She needed it in collaboration with a bad script even the most embarrassing records of the last Berlin Film Festival, which will attach her character some traumatic past. Prominent and well only Bruno Ganz as mischievous and sarcastic Stasi agent Jürgen, ensure the old boy quickly for clear vision.
