Complete Unknown (2016)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Just so...so bad

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This film is a drama, not so much a mystery, and it has an actual storyline, with characters who can grow and learn while dealing with life-changing decisions.It is not boring, unless the viewer needs either a lot of exposition or explosions. Without going into spoilers, I can say that there are some seemingly implausible aspects, but nothing in the film is actually impossible to believe.As already stated, the characters grow and change, and deal with decisions that will impact their lives, and I was pleasantly surprised with the ending, as it was unexpectedly uplifting.

Tom played by Michael Shannon is having one of those 'crisis' moments in his life. Whilst on the surface he has all the trappings of success, under the wafer thin surface he is falling apart and losing those things that he had once used to define his very existence.Then, at a dinner party, a work colleague brings a new 'friend', this is Alice (Rachel Weisz) and immediately Tom recognises her, only he does not remember any 'Alice'. Thus begins a night of revelations and stories at odds with normally acquired experiences. It is the story of one person who has escaped through reinvention and one who craves escape but is shackled by convention. This is an indie type film but has a high quality production and with the cast it boasts is not short on good performances. The real strength here is the story itself and so that makes this one of those films where one viewing may be enough. That said it is still more than worth seeing even if it is just that once.

Love Michael Shannon but this movie goes nowhere fast......just OK.Weisz is the dark beauty but the role is a weird one and it just meanders along until the end.Check Shannon out in Frank and Lola - there he has the menace and tenderness that he pulls of so well. In this role he doesn't have much to work with.There is a dark brooding quality that he seems to manifest. Really minor movie - disappointing.How did she become a frog expert and so highly regarded by her fellow workers - weird

As a man contemplates moving to a new state with his wife for her graduate program, an old flame - a woman who often changes identities - reenters his life at a birthday dinner party. Complete Unknown suffers from a bad script and a very dull plot, the pacing is really bad and it's edited very poorly with shots of people's backs or even some empty room. The very first few scenes make no sense and unless you see the trailer or read the plot you won't really understand what this woman is doing for the past few years. Overall this movie is bad and the director should feel bad for wasting the talents of Rachel Weisz, Michael Shannon, Kathy Bates and Danny Glover and i'm gonna give it a 4/10.
