Reviews of the movie: Identity
Who's who and what's what?
Absolute thriller with eerie atmosphere. In a pouring down rainstorm 10 unrelated travelers find themselves seeking shelter in an isolated motel and proceed to die, one by one. Right when you think you have figured this nightmare out; one big revelation puts things closer to making sense. A psychological chiller having you wonder who the hell is who before the "why for" is explained. John Cusack leads a very good cast that includes:Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Jake Busey and Rebecca DeMornay. Remember...sometimes its all in your head.
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
