You want to be unknowing about, "Unknown," starring Liam Neeson.

There is zero suspense. Less than zero. There is, in keeping with the latest trend to not offend teens, no real grown-ups' relationships--- his girl friend, though she's stunning and makes several moves on him, has the type of relationship of a guy buddy. The plot is simplistic to the extreme, and I'm a hater of overly complex plots that attempt to disguise a lack of meaning. So, how did this mess come to see the light of day? Mercedes-Benz. There are several interminable car chases. Interminable. All of them prominently feature various models of the Teutonic wunderkar. Hell, there even is a show-stopping moment when a Prince slowly uncoils himself from the interior of that God's chariot of the latest gull-wing M-B.
Bruno Ganz and especially Frank Langella have little trouble stealing every scene they have with Liam. The only suspense is in the scene between Bruno and Frank: now THAT's an actors' fight!
Under no circumstances, however, feel this makes the 2+ hours (guessing here; it actually felt like 3) worthwhile.
Go see "Marwencol."
