I Thibk Brad needs to quit while he's behind.he's having a terrible night.Where did i say the film being number one at the box office meant i was going to see it

[luckystars]

It's more pathetic to read a review than going on a box office rating? I'm not even going to bother arguing that one.

Reviews ain't everything. I'm sure they *can* help but if I want to go and see a film I usually don't read the reviews til after I've seen it!

[bradavon]

So you're not going to see it then?

Reviews ain't everything. I'm sure they *can* help

Agreed.

but if I want to go and see a film I usually don't read the reviews til after I've seen it!

Fair enough.

Other stuff to see in the Cinema, I'll rent the BD when it's out.

.

At the cinema?definitely not.

[thelostdragon]

It was shot in Germany and a friend of mine was a stuntman on that film so you'll all be supporting that film!

As for reviews, box office and people's opinions, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Can't everyone decide whether they are gonna watch a film or not all by themselves? If Brad decides to go by reviews or anybody decides to go by box office numbers, so be it.

[Markgway]

I would put more faith in reviews than box office numbers.
Transformers 2 made a mint remember.

Ultimately if the film sounds interesting I'd rather watch and decide for myself.
If reviews put me off then it's porbably not something I wanted to see all that much in the first place.

[gasteropod]

Transformers 2 made a mint remember.

Yeah and I unwisely ignored all the bad reviews... my God...

[grim_tales]

I'd still like to see it (Unknown), the story does sound interesting and it DID look very good from the trailer.

[Markgway]

Then go see it!

[grim_tales]

When it comes out, I will

[Markgway]

Good!

Unknown: 3.5/5

I enjoyed it but it's a film that unfortunately can't quite live up to it's intriguing premise and the terrific trailer. I don't think it was that original, and because it is based on a novel rather than being written for the screen the pacing seems rushed in places, but it IS interesting, I felt the reveal/twist was sadly weak IMO, like a rip off of the Bourne Identity and is crammed in at the end
More violent than I thought it would be for 12A (or maybe it seemed more violent than it was because the 15 rated True Grit contained hardly any violence).
Liam Neeson gave a good performance, I wanted to give this film a 4/5 but I can't
May give it another chance on BD though, maybe there'll be a longer cut.
