Unknown (2006)

[Ash]

I'd been wanting to see this movie for years and finally got around to it recently.
For some reason it didn't get a theatrical release here in the U.S. and didn't show up on DVD until a year or two after it was made.



The plot is pretty simple...(from the IMDB)
"Five men wake up in a locked-down warehouse with no memory of who they are. They are forced to figure out who is good and who is bad to stay alive."

Check out the trailer:

This was a decent flick.  Not great, but definitely not bad.
It was kind of a mashup of Reservior Dogs and the first Saw film.

Five guys wake up in an inescapable warehouse in the middle of nowhere and none of them can remember who they are.  They soon learn that three of them are kidnappers and two of them are the victims.
They start to take sides and try to escape the warehouse before the ringleaders of the kidnapping come back.
Add in a gun and things change pretty quick.
Throughout the movie, their memories gradually come back and they remember their true identities.
Then all hell breaks loose.


This is definitely worth a rental if you're looking for a nice thriller.
It has that Reservoir Dogs feel because all of them are in a warehouse.  It has that Saw feel because they (and you) learn who they are through flashbacks.
There's also a nice little twist at the end that I wouldn't dream of revealing.
I rate it 3 out of 4 stars and a  .
