Hollywood's Identity Crisis

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2003)

Sadly, it seems the most mundane films are coming out of Hollywood these days. In attempt to take another stab at the psychological-thriller, "Identity" falls right into it's cliche. Decent performances from solid supporting characters like John C. McGinley, Ray Liotta, and John Cusack. Regardless of James Mangold force-feedings of tension, the viewer remains sustained and some what engaged. And like most films currently of its kind, the script crumbles towards its end, and choosing the path of poor and desperate closure. In a film whose ending demeans itself with the common lack-luster twist, as well as the viewers expectations, try not to be the next victim.
