Unknown - 2011 ***

There's always a sense of wonder with these types of films about whether the conclusion is going to be nearly as good as everything else leads up to. Another being 'So Long at the Fair' which I happen to think is a brilliantly constructed movie with a very plausible ending. This however was not. It started off weirdly, did the whole 'suddenly no one recognises him,even his own wife. Why is that?' thing and then went off on a ridiculous ramble of pointlessness until the last few scenes which confused the hell out of me.
Liam Neeson is a wonderful actor but even he couldn't save this mish-mash of plot holes and hopeless, stupid explanations over something that turned out to be a complete waste of time.

The Other Man - 2008 ****

I really enjoyed this film, as am a big fan of both Neeson and Banderas and I loved the premise for the story.

After his wife dies tragically, Peter ( Neeson) discovers secret emails and photos on her computer, with proof that she has been having an affair with a handsome and seemingly accomplished man named Rafe. Devastated, he begins to search for Rafe's whereabouts, finding him living in Milan, and decides to meet and confront the man over his wife's infidelity.

Neeson is a superb actor and I always have the highest respect for him. He is one of those people that if you saw he was going to be in a film you would know the film was going to be pretty darn good. Banderas is also good at portraying the dark and mysterious figure he so often does in films, and so together they make a great pair.
