Identity description
With an ace up its sleeve, Identity does for schizophrenia what The Silence of the Lambs did for fava beans and a nice chianti. On the proverbial dark and stormy night, this anxiety-laced thriller offers a tasty blend of And Then There Were None and Psycho, with a dash of Sybil for extra spice and psychosis. Things go from bad to worse when 10 unrelated travelers converge at an isolated motel and proceed to die, one by one, with no apparent connection... until they discover the common detail that's drawn them into this nightmare of relentless trauma. Even as it flunks Abnormal Psychology 101, Michael Cooney's screenplay offers meaty material for a superior ensemble cast including John Cusack and Rebecca DeMornay (who wins the Janet Leigh prize in a bitchy comeback role). Director James Mangold pivots the action around one character (played by his Heavy star, Pruitt Taylor Vince, in eye-twitching cuckoo mode), and half the fun of Identity comes from deciphering who's who, what's what, and who'll be the next to die. --Jeff Shannon |

They didn't cheat
|
Although I can understand why some other viewers either hated it or were put off by it, I must say that I haven't seen a movie that made me think so much while watching it since The Sixth Sense.
Hold on! Yes - The Sixth Sense is a classic, Identity isn't, but the truth is I'm glad I saw it, which is more than I can say for most of the other movies I have seen recently.
I must say that halfway through the movie, I started getting apprehensive about how they were going to explain everything, I was actually expecting to get an ending that would have been both ludicrous and off-putting.
It was neither. The ending made sense plus it had been set up well enough at the beginning. They did not cheat! (Have you seen The Village? Now THAT was a cheat!
To sum up my opinion of the movie - I enjoyed it, it made me think and I did not feel insulted by the ending. One of the few movies I would actually watch again. |
