	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"A nifty international thriller of the "what if?" variety"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Despite its A-movie aspirations, as the chases continue and the plot holes widen, Unknown quickly settles into the familiar B-movie comfort zone"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Unknown' isn't a really bad movie, just an absurd one (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Ignore the pileup of implausibilities and 'Unknown' becomes a diabolically entertaining con game (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Director Jaume Collet-Serra provides a steady flow of suspense and a very Polanski-esque feeling of paranoia"	POS
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"[It] will catch your eye in the moments that matter. The rest of the time, and for vast stretches, not much happens"	NEU
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"The film wastes its premise, its mystery, its lead actor, and only at the end does it have the courtesy to become laughably terrible."	NEG
Canada	Ben Kendrick Screen Rant	"Despite a limited scope that leaves a lot to be desired in the way of characterization and overarching story implications, 'Unknown' succeeds as an exciting film"	NEU
