An underrated masterpiece, oh so good!

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2010)

In 1991, there was silence of the lambs, then in 1995, there was copycat and Seven, 2003 was the year of this phenomenal masterpiece. Its quite unfortunate that this movie is often never compared or mentioned with the others.
The movie starts as two side plot , one dealing with a psychiatrist, Dr.Malick(Alfred Molina) saving his patient from death sentence and the other one involves a group of people stuck in a rain storm at a motel , fighting off and fending themselves from...a killer! The two plots are connected , how exactly? Unfortunately that cannot be revealed here without spoiling the plot.
The story is completely engrossing and this is one such perfect edge of the seat thriller that will tighten the screws so hard and to such an extent to drive the viewer crazy and hungry for a solution. Unlike many thrillers the ending here is the best part of the story and will leave you completely satisfied and at the same time in a state of shock.
Quite honestly, Identity should be place not just among the above mentioned classics , but a level higher with Hitchcock's psycho and vertigo. All thriller lovers, don't ever miss this..grab your copy of Home video today!
