  This is how thriller should be, Good suspense, good story, nice twists!

  I got a kick outta this zen twisting on A.Christie's"Ten Little Indians" that kept me suspensefully engaged ... until the mandatory final twist that was lame-o. Nonetheless good stuff until then.

  Identity is a film that will easily divide it's audiences. They will either be really confused, or really impressed. I was impressed, but that took two viewings to achieve. The first time I watched this film I was really confused and had no idea what was going on. It's a smart, trippy, and surprisingly involving. It's a good, not great film that deserves a chance.

McGinley, William Lee Scott, Jake Busey, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Rebecca De Mornay, Carmen Argenziano, Marshall Bell, Leila Kenzle, Matt Letscher, Bret Loehr Director: James Mangold Summary: Complete strangers stranded at a remote desert motel during a raging storm soon find themselves the target of a deranged murderer. As their numbers thin out, the travelers begin to turn on each other, as each tries to figure out who the killer is. John Cusack, Jake Busey, Rebecca De Mornay, Clea DuVall and Ray Liotta co-star in this spine-tingling thriller that culminates in a surprising twist for everyone concerned -- including the murderer. My Thoughts: "What a twisted movie.. I was hooked from the begining to the very end.. I have never seen a thriller like this before so that made me love it even more.. I was shocked by the ending to find out who was the real killer in that crazy mans mind.. Never would have guessed who it was.. Its always good to put a good thriller in a cheap creepy Motel.. It's the best scenario.. But there were so many twists and turns, you never knew where it was taking you. The characters were great.. LOVED John Cusack.. He was awesome as always.. He brings it in every film.. Never a disappointment. Would definetly watch this movie again."

  Am I the only one who really hated and failed to believe all of these implausible twists? Twists, by the way, that makes any characters unworthy of the viewer's sympathy or interest. Even without the twists, the movie could hardly succeed at that.

  Entertaining and clever mindbender that is easily one of the better entries into the horror-genre. This stands by far the best film that director James Mangold has made so far. It has the classic setting for a horror mystery. A motel middle of nowhere, ten stranded people who seem to have somekind of connection and a killer at loose among them. Michael Cooney's clever script has fun with the genre cliches, but shockingly turns everything upside down in the last third. This is a dream come true film for the fans of atmospheric horror. It is fun, twisty, well made entertainment and it does not pretend to be nothing more.

  I thought it was okay. Some of the characters were really annoying. Like the part with the girl who ran into the bathroom crying and screaming. Like cry a river, build a bridge and get over it. The twist sucked too. Sure it was unexpected, but really? The *SPOILER* kid is the… More
  I thought it was okay. Some of the characters were really annoying. Like the part with the girl who ran into the bathroom crying and screaming. Like cry a river, build a bridge and get over it. The twist sucked too. Sure it was unexpected, but really? The *SPOILER* kid is the killer? Nobody could kill the kid before the kid killed them? Aren't they all grown adults? Geez. Talk about being weak.

  A totally engaging, riveting, chilling, original and unpridictable edge of your seat thriller. A smart, stunning, well-crafted and brilliant piece of mystery film making. It keeps your pulse pounding and your heart-racing all the way to its mind-blowing finish. A puzzel box of suspense in unbarreable doses. You'll wont belive what happens next. Pure ingenious with a great script and cast. John Cusack and Ray Liotta are at their best. A strong and exceptional cast with great performances. Thriller's dont get more explosively entertaining or truly spellbinding than this.

• Conner R

  
  A highly predictable film, but it is still fun to watch. The cast actually worked really well together and some of the plot is so bad that it's funny. The schizophrenic personality reveal at the end is the icing on the cake and makes you feel cheated out of a movie.

  I kind of liked it up until the ridiculously stupid ending!

  I saw this I think at the movies when it came out, and maybe again on DVD. But after reviewing it again last night, I wonder if there is a alt ending, because I sure don't remember that twist. Its a awesome movie from start to finish. John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and Amanda Peet are at there best. Has some pretty creepy parts, really liked when the bodies disappeared. No less then 4 1/2 stars on this one.

  <i>"As I was going up the stair / I met a man who wasn't there. / He wasn't there again today / I wish, I wish he'd go away"</i> Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rainstorm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one. <b><u>REVIEW</u></b> Identity is far from perfect. At first glance it is a haven for Hollywood rejects and those at the end of their careers, but it also defies the typical ideals of Hollywood film making. This is not a horror, not a thriller, not a drama, not a crime or action film. Yet it has elements of all of these and creates a film that stands alone against the usual Hollywood fare. It revolves around a group of people trapped in a cheap roadside motel synonymous with "Psycho" and other clones that have since failed to make the grade. Their lives intertwine before they meet and one by one they come to be in the place that many of them would breathe their last. For the most part, the plot then becomes typical slasher flick cinema and it would be easy to be complacent and think that this is the sum of "Identity" and decide that you have seen enough. Then it takes a bizarre twist of fate and you are no longer sure just exactly what it is you are watching. All I can say is that in spite of the flaws, Identity evolves into one of the cleverest films of recent memory. Refreshing, intelligent stuff that would make it difficult to dislike and a must for anyone who likes to watch a film that is just a little different. Had this had a little more hype, a few clever marketing campaigns and it would go down as a cult classic for the early 21st century.

  This is a highly entertaining psychological horror/suspense thriller lead by a great director, and acted by a wonderful ensemble cast. Not the best film ever, but still highly watchable and clever, and worth watching at least once.

  A good cast, but this film only slightly kept me interested as it went along. I really thought it was Ray Liotta the whole time, killing people in this motel just like he has continually killed his career. Bang! Corrina, Corrina...John Cusack is dead. Bang! Operation Dumbo… More
  A good cast, but this film only slightly kept me interested as it went along. I really thought it was Ray Liotta the whole time, killing people in this motel just like he has continually killed his career. Bang! Corrina, Corrina...John Cusack is dead. Bang! Operation Dumbo Drop...McGinley's gone. Ray...what happened?
