An irregular film in terms of rhythm and gender balance but is still an excellent work thanks to its main characters. [Full review in Spanish]

Complete Unknown may end with a sigh rather than a bang, but it's a sigh you'll still be thinking about days later.

Despite its flaws, "Complete Unknown" raises provocative questions about the nature of identity and whether it's more a comfort or a trap.

You can't attempt this type of actor's exercise with just anyone.

The movie brushes up against far-fetched soap-opera scenarios. The ending isn't altogether satisfying. Yet Weisz, playful and seductive, utterly confident, disarmingly vulnerable, delivers a performance that makes you forget all that.

Writer-director Joshua Marston gives Shannon a chance to shine as a character more pedestrian than the ones he usually plays, though the story is a little too thesis driven to build any dramatic momentum.

This is a story that pretends to have a lot more on its mind than it really does.

Shannon is usually playing human question marks in the movies, so it's a twist here to see him playing the "normal" guy, except Shannon is too unconventional an actor to play anything in the normal range.

Complete Unknown could play out as a gripping mystery or tidy thriller. Instead, the screenplay from Julian Sheppard and director Joshua Marston unfurls as a sedate drawing-room drama.

Complete Unknown is the perfect case study of what happens when bad movies rope in good actors.

In the hands of actors this studied and sure, the gamut of conflicting and burrowed emotions is displayed with elegant reserve. It would be a shame if the film went the way of its title.
