Really good until the last 30 seconds...

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A SPOILER
I was sitting in the movie theatre, incredibly pleased with Identity. Incredibly pleased, that is until Timmy, movie wrecker in 4 and a half feet, waltzed on scene and said, "whores don't get a second chance." To quote the comic book guy, "worst ending ever." I was perfectly happy with the killer that was revealed earlier (who I won't reveal because to me that was the real end of the movie). I was perfectly happy with the movie up until the point where the sole (or so u think) survivor is hanging washing on a line. It should have been cut there. End scene. Why the homicidal child? It's so overdone and in this case badly done. One would think there would be some clue that little Timmy is daemon spawn, but no. He seems to be a perfectly normal kid. I'm all for surprise endings, but they need to be realistic. Other then that Identity was great. I loved all of the twists. I supposed thats what makes me so mad. The movie didn't need another plot twist. It was twisty enough. It seems as though some hack writer was sitting there one day and though, "Hey, lets make Timmy the murderer! No one'll see that coming!" Of course we won't. It doesn't make sense! So to all of you who haven't seen it (and are still reading this review with a spoiler) walk out when you see someone hanging washing on a line. You'll be glad you did. You'll escape Timmy and his fantastic movie ruining powers.
