Complete Unknown is a movie that excels more due to the acting, that of Rachel Weisz and, to some extent, Michael Shannon rather than the plot or writing, but on those it was at least compelling storytelling.

PLOT SUMMARY
|
| As Tom (MICHAEL SHANNON) celebrates his birthday with a group of close friends in Brooklyn, he is startled to see a woman from his distant past at the part. Jenny — or Alice (RACHEL WEISZ), as she now calls herself — first denies even knowing Tom, but as the evening progresses, she reveals a shocking secret. After disappearing from Tom’s life 20 years earlier, she began to reinvent herself every few years, taking on a new name, a new career and a new life each time. After giving Tom a glimpse of what life could be like if he lets go of the safety and security he has so carefully created, Alice asks him to make a choice that will change everything. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.0/5 |
| The only feature is an Audio Commentary with Co-Writer/Director Joshua Marston. |
VIDEO – 4.0/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5
|
| Complete Unknown is presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and colors and detail looks fine. The disc includes the standard but effective enough Dolby Digital 5.1 track which shows off clear dialogue and decent depth when it comes to the score. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Overall, Complete Unknown is a movie that excels more due to the acting, that of Rachel Weisz and, to some extent, Michael Shannon rather than the plot or writing, but on those it was at least compelling storytelling. The DVD is rather basic with only an audio commentary while the video/audio transfers were okay. |
