Dr.Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife suddenly recognize him and another man has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally, Martin plunges headling into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
What's Good about the movie?
Liam's believable performance as Dr. Martin Harris. One can't help but believe that Liam is actually going through this ordeal and he takes us not only on some great high speed chases but on a very emotional roller coaster.
Diane Kruger gives a solid performance as the reluctant and accidental, illegal immigrant side kick to Dr Harris, whose cab he stumbles into.
The plot twist that is revealed close to the end of the movie that I am sure most people won't see coming. The powers that be did a great job in having us believe in what was revealed as the original plot but leaves us gasping and wowing when the truth is revealed.
What's bad about the movie?
January Jones is very stiff-literally and gives a very unconvincing performance as Mrs. Harris. Ms. Jones should have picked up a thing or two from Liam. Suffice it to say I had a hard time connecting to her character and I am sure most people would as well.
I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more action and high octane speed chasing scenes.
Overall Grade: B. It should leave you wondering,what constitutes my identity and who are we without official forms of identification and when our identities are stolen.
