TRUST ME ... Not anything special

Rating: 5/10 (17 August 2003)

Identity looked promising when i saw it in advertisements and previews. It was supposed to be a scary thriller where people meet up in a hotel and have TOO many things in common for their meeting to be chance. For the first half (maybe that is too generous) it was just like i thought it would be. but then it all goes downhill (slooooowly). What I hated most was that the movie has TOO many supposed twists. As i was sitting there I was thinking to myself that as the writers of this movie were creating the script they must have just thought they were the most clever people in the world. I can just hear them now " ooooo they wont expect THIS, wow we are some really special, clever people. Lets throw in another twist. and then about twenty more, then lets END the movie with a twist." it just gets rediculous. and the thing about the BIG unexpected twist in the movie (you'll know what im talking about) is that it is a TOTAL cop-out. Instead of some shocking, clever explanation for all the strange goings on, they use the old "it was all a dream . . ." type of plot. lame-o. so if you have half a brain this movie will be a letdown. but if you are a moron, then you will just think that it is soooo clever. hahahhahahah sorry all you identity fans. see ya
