If on a Rainy Night a Traveller . . .

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2010)

"Identity" is an excellent, ornate whodunit sporting some unusual twists. The film boasts a superb performance by John Cusack. The setting gives a nod to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," and the film is complex and multi-layered.
If you enjoyed the way "The Sixth Sense" and "Memento" revealed their stories, then you'll like the presentation of "Identity." In general, if you liked "The Usual Suspects," you'll enjoy this movie. On the other hand, if you prefer a straightforward story line and representational realism, you may be disappointed by some of the turns this film takes.
"Identity" will have added appeal for viewers who enjoy rainy night scenes.
A very good effort worth watching!
