Film. Unknown
Film. Unknown: Five men wake up together trapped in a chemical warehouse in the middle of the desert with no knowledge of who they are or how they ended up in their present situation. Despite their shared amnesia, the men must work together to figure out who's who in order to avoid execution.
Underneath Unknown's intricate plot, there is the potential for a profound existential drama. Unfortunately, the film barely explores the question it poses in the opening scene, "Who am I?" This stylish thriller is bolstered by a top-notch cast of actors, including Greg Kinnear, Jeremy Sisto, and Joe Pantoliano, who all deliver gritty performances. In the end, Unknown is an entertaining diversion - the perfect thing to watch when you're suffering from insomnia.
Dork recommends Unknown. It's out on DVD and video-on-demand [Trailer]
