Unknown

Unknown is a thriller released in 2011 starring Liam Neesom as a man who has and accident which results in him losing his memory although he still remembers his identity and close associates such as his wife. Although this is so, nobody believes him even his wife. However mysterious things happen to him such as being targeted for an assassination. He then sets out to find out just what happened to him and who he is with the help of Gina; the woman who caused his accident.

The Film is directed by spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra and is written by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell.


From the trailer alone we see scenes of quick cuts, tense music and a high sense of mystery, all of which are main conventions of a thriller.
One of the films most notable scenes is the car chase scene embedded below.

In this scene we see characters 'Martin and Gina' trying to escape a enemy that is seemingly trying to kill them. It is clear this scene is action packed as it has over 120 cuts within those two minutes. The non diegetic chords played by the orchestra suggests trouble is a clear presence in this scene. Also the mise en scene further makes the scene more exciting, thrilling and dangerous.
