Unknown is a drama-thriller film from 2006 that stars Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, and Bridget Moynahan. The film revolves around a forensics doctor named Martin Harris, who arrives in Berlin with his wife for a biotechnology summit. After a car accident, Martin wakes up with amnesia, and when he attempts to piece his life back together, he finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy.

At the start of the movie, Martin Harris, an American in Berlin for a high-profile biotech conference, loses consciousness in a car accident, and his wife Liz (Moynahan) disappears. Four days later, he awakens from a coma with no recollection of his previous life, including who his wife is. When he tracks down his hotel, he discovers that another man has taken over his identity and his wife no longer acknowledges him. Martin's confusion turns to disbelief as he finds out that not only has his identity been replaced but that a conspiracy threatens to kill him unless he stays silent.

With few places left to turn, Martin enlists taxi driver and former Stasi agent Ernst Jürgen (played by Bruno Ganz) to help him unravel the mystery of his stolen identity. Throughout the film, Harris and Jürgen race against time to piece together Martin’s identity, stop the conspiracy and save Liz, who was abducted as part of the plot.

Unknown is a tense, fast-paced thriller with a lot of twists and turns along the way. The film creates a sense of urgency as Harris uncovers unsettling truths about his life and those around him, and slowly starts to realize the danger he's in. As the pieces of the puzzle come together, the audience is treated to an exciting and engaging story that keeps them on the edge of their seat.

Jim Caviezel delivers a compelling performance as Martin Harris, conveying the character's frustration, confusion, and growing terror with a subtle but potent intensity. Caviezel's portrayal of a man struggling to hold onto his identity while navigating dangerous unknown waters adds a lot of depth to the story.

Greg Kinnear and Bridget Moynahan also deliver solid performances as Martin's wife Liz and her supposed replacement - an imposter played by Aidan Quinn. As the plot unfolds, we see the struggles of each character, attempting to reveal their true intentions and uncover the truth hidden in the layers of deception.

The movie was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who would later direct other thrillers such as Orphan (2009) and The Commuter (2018). With its unexpected plot twists, intense suspense and striking performances, Unknown is a memorable thriller that fans of the genre should not miss.

In conclusion, Unknown is an excellent film that balances a tense plot with strong character development and great acting. The film takes the viewers on a thrilling ride as Martin Harris uncovers the truth about his own identity and the conspiracy that threatens his life. The many twists and turns along the way keep the audience engaged and surprised until the very end. If you are a fan of thrillers, Unknown is definitely a movie you should check out.
