Best movie this year of its type

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2003)

A Hitchcockian murder mystery, Identity is a great example of how to keep the audience guessing while throwing in a lot of red herrings.
The premise is simple - a crowd of ten people find themselves stranded in a motel after fate contrived to put them there.
However, after a series of sinister 'incidents', they all find themselves in grave danger and fight to stay alive.
Saying *any* more would spoil this, as there are a lot of tricks up Identity's sleeve.
All performances are excellent, and with a cast such as John Cusak, Ray Liotta and Amanda Peet you'd expect no less.
A cracking story, excellent direction, and good camera work combine to provide you a movie well in the top drawer.
Highly recommended.
