Possibly one of the greatest psychological thrillers of all time

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2007)

Identity is the story of 10 strangers who are stranded at a motel overnight due to rain flooding the roads.
The movie unfolds nicely when the people start to die one by one which will keep you guessing until the ending twist which I can promise you will not see coming. The movie can seem a bit predictable but all in all you will be completely surprised by the truth behind the ten strangers. The movie throws out clues here and there and there are some points which leave you totally confused.
You will need to concentrate during this movie and whatever you do if you're watching with a friend who has already seen it don't ask them "hey what just happened there?", the movie will confuse you but all is explained by the end of the movie. The dialog is great and John Cusack plays a terrific lead role along side Amanda Peet, Ray Liotta and John C Mcginley.
The tension grows as the characters slowly start to get killed off which brings the survivors closer as they learn unusual things about each other that they strangely have in common. The fact that the entire movie is at night during a huge storm creates an extra dimension of fear and makes you feel completely unsafe and uneasy during the movie (which is always a great factor in a horror/thriller).
The movie does a great job at tricking the audience into believing they know what will happen in the end, and just when you think you've got it, it completely flips on you.
This movie proves to be one of the greatest psychological thrillers of all time which adds a whole other dimension of fear and mystery to the film which is unique and delivers everything you expect, and a whole lot more!
