The narrative centers around a professor who wakes up from a four-day long coma and sets out to prove his identity after no one recognizes him

...

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 55% of 207 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Liam Neeson elevates the proceedings considerably, but Unknown is ultimately too derivative – and implausible – to take advantage of its intriguing premise."[14] ... Richard Roeper gave the film a B+ and wrote, "At times, Unknown stretches plausibility to the near breaking point, but it's so well paced and the performances are so strong and most of the questions are ultimately answered. This is a very solid thriller."[17] Justin Chang of Variety called it "an emotionally and psychologically threadbare exercise".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVuL7tlG1K4 - link from above; there's a minute or two that has weird music superimposed, and a scene missing that seems like it took place in a nightclub, probably these are modified/removed bc of copyrighted music.

An "ok" movie. Lot of plot holes, not really that original, but done well enough that it's still entertaining. Besides Liam Neeson it's got Bruno Ganz who played Hitler in Downfall (you know, the one with the meme where he's freaking out over a map).

Looks like this has been up over 3 weeks and it's interesting to see the techniques the uploader uses to avoid the removal algorithm:

no mention of the movie's actual name in the title or description
removal of the movie's title from the beginning?
end-credits removed
custom thumbnail that identifies the star and hints at the topic
ruthless removal/edit of any scene in the movie that includes copyrighted music
looks like a bunch of AI-generated comments were added too

Still, you never know when the algorithm's gonna wise up and kill it.

On some posts the comments complain about a large number of ads being included -- presumably that's why people upload them. uBO adblocker still works though.
