Very good

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2007)

I like movies that play with your mind, but in the end you see that everything fits in place. Some good examples are Memento, The Usual Suspects, or Fight Club.
I picked up Identity mostly because it looked interesting and stars John Cusack, whom I believe is grossly underrated in general. It turned out to be a heck of a 90 minute ride! I didn't see the plot twist coming, and I found everything to be very satisfying.
You'll see parallels to Psycho and Ten Little Indians, but Identity is unique. A little too violent to be generally recommendable (I don't care for slasher flicks), too good to pass up. I'll give it a 7, and personally rate it an 8 for those who are less squeamish, yet enjoy an intelligent movie. Think "Silence of the Lambs" for violence/intelligence, although of course that's a much different type of movie.
