Tampa Bay Times
Unknown is finely tuned pulp filmmaking, a dumb movie with a smart veneer, which is nothing to sneeze at. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Director Jaume Collet-Serra provides a steady flow of suspense and a very Polanski-esque feeling of paranoia. - 63
Miami Herald
Unknown is never boring, and Collet-Serra mostly keeps up a lively pace, but he doesn't do the movie any favors with the flat, dull way he films the scene in which we finally learn what's going on. - 60
Time Out
Unknown is probably the movie "The Tourist" wanted to be, if it had a pulse. Its sheer momentum makes Neeson and Kruger more attractive than even Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
The movie whips up a big old puree of ingredients borrowed from other cinematic recipes. - 50
Village Voice
As with its protagonist, Unknown boasts tantalizing issues buried deep beneath its frantic exterior, but little idea how to unlock or address them. - 50
Variety
Beyond the occasional plot frissons and juicy supporting turns, it's an emotionally and psychologically threadbare exercise. - 50
Orlando Sentinel
It's a solid, engrossing thriller, but a slack one.
