Liam Neeson hasn't exactly been a slouch as an actor over his many years, but he kind of got new life with his movie "Taken" a couple years back for the younger crowds. In that movie he played the ultimate badass out to find his kidnapped daughter and pulls a James Bond/Rambo role to save the day.
"Unknown" has gotten mixed reviews, and many say that it is kind of a movie that tries a bit too hard. It is another action Thriller of course and I'm sure the box office will love it regardless. It also stars January Jones from Mad Men, who is basically the current "hottest chick around" beauty right now according to a lot of people out there.
The story is more or less a "memory loss" one where Neeson gets in an accident, loses his memory, finds out everything he thinks is true is somehow wrong, blah blah. I assume the acting is decent and the action is heavy so surely it is at worst a good popcorn flick.
Unknown's $6.7 million on Friday was half-a-million good enough to top I Am Number Four's $6.2 million. I Am Number Four sounds like a kind of Twilight-esque sort of franchise. I figured it would win the weekend, and maybe still will since it is close after a day. Some that have read the books say the movie was kind of half-assed. This franchise is going to have another movie already in August so it definitely needs a bit of a showing. It's about some alines that are hiding on Earth. Number Four is fighting alien rivals.
