The Unknown, available on Netflix, follows the trajectory of an undercover police officer who forms ties with a murder suspect to try to obtain a decisive confession. The production is freely inspired by the disappearance and death of young Daniel Morcombe, which occurred in Australia in 2003, but avoids directly mentioning the case.

Directed by Thomas M. Wright, the film features Joel Edgerton e Sean Harris in performances that reinforce the tense atmosphere of the narrative. The story progresses gradually, revealing fragments of the crime while highlighting the psychological impact on those involved. The work favors a sober aesthetic and uses increasing tension to lead the viewer to the outcome.
The production received positive reviews from specialized critics, especially for the way it works with the complexity of the characters and the structure of the investigation. Still, the more restrained rhythm may cause some audiences to feel strange. Even so, “The Unknown” consolidates itself as a police narrative with a strong emotional charge and a realistic approach to investigative methods.
