Unknown---Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger and January Jones

Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) a biochemist with his wife Elizabeth Harris (January Jones) traveled to Berlin for a conference to hear about the discovery in research by Professor Leo Bressler (Sebastian Koch). Prince Shada (Mido Hamada) from Arabia funded the research so he would be there as an honored guest.

When they arrive at the hotel Dr. Harris discovers he left his brief case at the airport, so he hops into another taxi and is on his way to retrieve it. While his wife checks on their reservations.

Suddenly, Dr. Harris’ taxi is in an accident and the taxi goes over the bridge into the icy water below. The taxi driver Gina (Diane Kruger) pulls the unconscious Martin Harris out of the car and swam with him to the shore.  Then the Taxi driver Gina hurried away before the police arrived. She had something to hide, evidently.

Martin Harris remained in a coma four days and woke up in the hospital on the fourth day. He could not remember what happened and without identification could not even prove he was Dr. Martin Harris.

He’s understandably confused, but remembers being married and dread fills his mind that his wife cannot find him. His memory loss caused him and his doctor much concern.

In a burst of energy he leaves the hospital without the doctor’s consent. He is off to find his wife and when he locates her, she denies knowing him. Confused but adamant that he is her husband and does not understand what is happening.

Then a man steps up with identification and says he is Dr. Martin Harris. (He’s not the only one confused now, and lost in a maze of denials and chaotic web of deceit, I am with him.)

Finally, the hotel puts him in a cab to take him back to the hospital, but he gets out and goes back to the hotel in time to see his wife having dinner with the other man who claims he is Dr. Martin Harris. They are very lovable to each other, which is more baffling.

                                                       

He noticed a black van was following him, and ignores it as he stays on track to prove who he is. He goes to Professor Bressler and finds the imposture already there. When the fake Dr. Martin Harris shows his I.D. to prove he’s the real one, there is a photo of his wife sitting on the lap of the impersonator. 

Then he fainted and wakes up in the hospital again with the same man who followed him once before. Who is now trying to kill him, but a nurse comes in the room and confronts him about being with her patient. Then the assassin breaks her neck, and goes into another room to hide another body. Martin manages to get her scissors and cut his restrains and gets away.

He Didn't Forget Everything or Maybe He Did Not Remember it Correctly

Why are these assassins after him? He cannot imagine anything since he has gaps in him memory still.

This movie is an action, mystery and thriller all rolled into a ball of entertainment that last for 113 minutes of the edge of your seat watching. If you missed this movie buy a DVD and entertain your friends with a movie night. They will thank you for it.

The Losers (2010) Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba & Zoe Saldana

It is never a smart move to double-cross an elite United States Special Forces Unit. These guys were sent to the Bolivian Jungle on a mission to find and eliminate the enemy.

After the target was marked the unit became aware there were a large group of children they had to save and since their contact in the USA would not call off the attack. The unit of five guys, Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who was the leader, Jensen ( Chris Evans), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short) and Cougar (Oscar Jaenada).

When the team realized the children would be killed if they did not go in and save them---and they had only eight (8) minutes to do before the missile hit its target.

The five men rush down to the jungle compound killing many of enemy before reaching the children. Finally they manage to rescue the children using an old school bus to save them.

 After walking through the jungle with the group of children---they meet their contact helicopter and while helping the children on board they were informed---only enough room for the children. Clay said we will stay---so the helicopter rose in the air while the children waved bye to their heroes.

As the five men watched the helicopter rise over the trees to leave they heard a funny noise in the sky and looked up just in time to see a missile blow the helicopter up with all the children aboard.

The men ran to the wreckage knowing in their hearts what they would find---only burnt metal and fire still burning. Clays saw the little Teddy Bear one of the children was holding---burning on the ground.

As their eyes could not leave the burning twisted metal---Clay said that was supposed to be us---and they all knew at that moment they were dead to the USA that sent them to complete the mission and to their families.

Clay threw his dog tags into the burning wreck and each man followed suit. They were no longer Special Forces---now they were just men living in jungle looking for a way to revenge their own betrayal. And they knew the name of the name who did it---Max. But they did not know what he looked like.

Clay was approached by a beautiful woman with her own agenda named Aisha (Zoe Saldana) she told them she would get them home if they helped her to eliminate the heavily guarded Max. So the action begins after they reach Miami and plans are made.

This is a very good action movie with a good plot carried out with extra good actors as you will find out for yourselves.
