Unknown (Colombian title: Mentes en Blanco) is a 2006 Crime-Thriller film directed by Colombian filmmaker Simon Brand and stars James Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, Bridget Moynahan, Joe Pantoliano and Barry Pepper about a group of men kidnapped and locked in a factory. Piecing together information around them, they realize that some were kidnapped and some were the kidnappers. They decide they must work together to figure out how to get away before the gang that captured them returns.

The film was previewed before a theater audience for the first time in New York City on December 13, 2005. It is currently unrated by the MPAA.

I was disappointed. The plot is needlessly jumbled without ever adding up to much. The actors are wasted; they don't have much to do. Still, it isn't a terrible film for those who like mysteries and go in with low expectations.

Decent thriller with a sufficient amount of twists and some great character actors playing off one another. Of the main five, only Jeremy Sisto is really wasted, as he's not given a lot to do other than die. The other four have great chemistry and really make the film into more than just an average thriller. The concept is an intriguing one, but ruined somewhat by the police scenes, which really takes away from the main plotline and are not actually needed. Had the film just been focused on these five men with memory loss as they try to figure out who they are and how they got there, it would have been much better, as it would have put the audience in their position (i.e. not knowing who's good and who's bad). And the absolute final twist just reeks of being planted on there for one last surprise - it's not needed either. Just a decent thriller that could have used some post-production tweaking.
