Tight, neat little puzzle.

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2006)

10 strangers drift from one reason or another into a small motel in the middle of a desert during a heavy storm. Suddenly people start ending up dead and the chase for the murderer begins.
There's nothing new in this particular plot line as such, there are lots of this kind of stories ranging from the books of Agatha Christie to dozens of adaptations and transmutation of the story in different media. So, as it often is, it's the way the story is constructed and how the twist is made.
It often happens, that this genre gives out so much rope, that it hangs itself, but this doesn't happen with 'Identity'. Despite of some pretty old clichés the movie delivers very enjoyable experience, which explains pretty neatly everything that has happened in the story.
It far too easy to say too much about this genre and spoil the fun for the viewers, so I keep this as tight as possible. They enjoyment of the puzzle is laid before your eyes and it is a tasty one.
A short summary of what is stated above: very good addition to the genre it presents.
