Some actors don't want to be typecast. I remember reading that Vin Diesel didn't want to do XXX 2 because he'd just done a sequel (which, arguably was a sequel in only the vaguest of definitions--Chronicles of Riddick sequelling Pitch Black). Then here we have Liam Neeson who did Taken back in 2008, and I swear during the first 45 minutes it just felt like some merry go 'round knock off of Taken. At that time, I also figured he was being typecast, but looking at his IMDB bio, it's clear he's been doing a lot of work, so there's minimal risk there.
All that being said, once the plot thickened, as it were, this movie proved itself as unique with a compelling story, and all the bells and whistles we've grown to love of good movies (explotions, car chases, etc.).
If you're into mysteries, this one would be great for you. Michelle usually figures these things out in 20 minutes flat, but Unknown kept her guessing until the very end.
