Five men desperately try to recover their memories and piece together the traumatic events of the past several days in this independent thriller. In an abandoned warehouse, a handful of men slowly regain consciousness, but they've been stricken with amnesia and have no idea who they are, where they are, or what has happened to them. All five seem to have been in some sort of serious scuffle; one is tied up (Joe Pantoliano), another has been handcuffed (Jeremy Sisto), a third has a broken nose

You wish some of the plot holes had been spackled better.
A nifty little psychological crime thriller that suggests a Treasure of the Sierra Madre for the postindustrial age.
It's a good gimmick, but still a gimmick, and we're left with more confusion than tension.
Unknown is far from a perfect movie, but it's more amusing than many better-made ones.
Unknown is far from unwatchable, just undistinguished.
Gritty, gimmicky.

goes round in circles, with petty arguments and lengthy monologues making the minutes drag in what ought to be a taut thriller.
Enjoyable thriller with superb performances, a decent plot and some thought-provoking ideas about identity and human nature underneath its twisty tale.
A knife-sharp psychological action thriller.
This is the work of filmmakers so satisfied with a story that isn't the least bit satisfying.
Never rises above the level of a promising calling card, but there's something refreshing about its innate sense of its own B-movieness.
Gimmicky but effective, this claustrophobic thriller has such an intriguing premise that it keeps us entertained even as it gets increasingly contrived.
A premissa é instigante, mas, infelizmente, quanto mais descobrimos sobre a trama, menos interessante o filme se torna.
UNKNOWN works as a puzzle and it provides a fine ride for audiences. It has audacity and invention and marks the emergence of a couple of behind-the-scenes talents to watch.
There's a good little thriller lurking somewhere in the depths of "Unknown," but it never quite rises to the surface.
The gimmick is all worn out, the script never makes us believe its epidemic of memory loss could ever happen, and its crescendo of third-act plot twists play like a desperate patch job on a concept that just didn't come off.
Trust no one. Fear everyone.Excellent Movie! The film story just keeps changing even at the end, amazing plot! Good acting roles by everyone involve. Highly recommended film for any real movie buffs.How would you feel if you were tied to a chair, in a locked-down warehouse, in the middle-of-nowhere, with no
