Finally Cusack separates himself from the love comedies.

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2005)

John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Jake Busey, John Hawkes, Alfred Molina, Clea Duvall, and William Lee Scott. Directed by James Mangold.
After waiting six years since Simon West's Con Air for John Cusack to do a movie other than the corky love comedies he pulls through with Identty. Whether he play a witty record salesman (High Fidelity) or a struggling hit man (Grosse Pointe Blank) but now he steals the show as a limo driver (well technically I thought Liotta stole the show).The story is set in a Nevada motel during a horrible rain storm causing ten complete strangers to battle out the storm. But as they begin to get to know each other the killing starts. Identity is a pulse pumping thriller and a mind game leaving you guessing until the end of the film. One of the best thrillers since The Usual Suspects. My final rating 8/10.
