Movie Reviews of Identity

Movie Review: CONTRIVED AND CONVOLUTED
Summary: 2 Stars

I don't blame the actors or the talented director who guided this confusing mess through an endless series of contrived and mindless twists and turns. Nope. The problem clearly is just this: the script is entirely B.S.

Those who liked Usual Suspects (a film I thoroughly hated) and who enjoy the work of Hitchcock (a director who never did anything for me) ought to get off on this fakery.

Like I said, cast is very good, with the exception of Jake Busey.

Summary of Identity

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
What if every choice we ever make was already made for us? What if there really were no coincidences in life and our destinies were already predetermined? Ten strangers with secrets are brought together in a savage rainstorm: A limo driver (John Cusack) an '80s TV star (Rebecca DeMornay) a cop (Ray Liotta) who is transporting a killer (Jake Busey) a call girl (Amanda Peet) a pair of newlyweds (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) and a family in crisis (John C. McGinley Leila Kenzle Bret Loehr) all take shelter at a desolate motel run by a nervous night manager (John Hawkes). Relief in finding shelter is quickly replaced with fear as the ten travelers begin to die one by one. They soon realize that if they are to survive they'll have to uncover the secret that has brought them all together.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: R UPC: 043396005396 Manufacturer No: 00539
