Unknown (2011), dir. Jaume Collet-Serra
Why the name is important for humans? Does a man who spent seven years in his name may be lost? Or together with the loss of names may lose its identity? An interesting problem is the identity of English director presents the most accessible way for viewers, which is in the form of action cinema. The main role there was an Irish actor Liam Neeson, who in the film Kidnapped ( link ) demonstrated that feels great in the role of hero lost in a foreign country, trying to get out of trouble, on the occasion of packing in trouble others.
When I watched again last North by Northwest Hitchcock thought that I would like to see in contemporary cinema-style thriller hitchcockowskim. I lived to see such a film - it is reviewed identity. In the film, familiar patterns are present in many other films (eg Frantic , Bourne Identity), but surprisingly it skillfully combined in an interesting story (based on the novel Out Of My Head ). It is in the film quite a few successful and surprising twists and turns and a lot of secrets that are gradually being discovered by the heroes.
When it comes to heroes, is the most expressive characters are convincingly played by Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger and Bruno Ganz, the rest is just background for the forward at a rapid pace of events. Liam Neeson perfectly portrayed hitchcockowskiego everyman who tries to explain the complicated plot and reveal a conspiracy. It does not use firearms, but is smart enough, clever and observant, to cope with difficult situations. Diane Kruger in an economical manner, but not devoid of emotions portrayed illegal immigrants - a woman who has gone on the margins of society. She also did not have names, uses only the name of Gina, is therefore the ideal partner for the search of his own the identity of the hero. Despite his own problems he can help him and in a surprisingly efficient manner. However, the entire second plan had seized for themselves Bruno Ganz. The old man looks unremarkable, but as a former Stasi agent who specializes in finding the details, it seems highly intelligent man, orientującym fairly quickly, in as great affair is stuck.

Music composed by two little popular composers in the typical action movie turns up the pace and in a manner typical for the upcoming thriller suggests that the risk and helps to maintain tension. Camera work sometimes surprising originality - even in the scene to escape the hospital corridors deformed shots can be seen in the film plot was set in Berlin seems to be an obvious reference to the German expressionism. It is quite an innovative procedure such as the contemporary action movies.
Escape, chase and struggle are elements that do not always provide good entertainment, but the film Identity offers what viewers should guarantee a high level of entertainment. The story is attractive and keeps the uncertainty, dynamic action scenes, brutal violence and justified, with a predominance of fists over firearms and events presented in an intriguing and visually appealing lead to a surprising finale. Director along with a great editor, we assemble the elements of story telling at the appropriate pace and supported by experienced actors made the audience roots for the heroes, engaged in on-screen events and tries to unravel the mystery plot itself.
