Not without its flaws, but it has a good hook

Rating: 6/10 (13 April 2004)

Having heard mixed reviews of Identity in the months since it was released, I wasn't sure what to expect. All that I had heard was that there was a `twist'. The movie itself was fairly superficial in terms of a storyline, but I soon came to realize that was the only way the story really could have presented itself. The acting was pretty cookie-cutter, even from my man John Cusack, but some fairly interesting cinematography that was used to tell parts of the story more than made up for it. The good news is that with a couple of exceptions, I was kept guessing throughout the film, and more than once I was completely dumbfounded. When the `twist' finally occurred, it took me a second to figure out what was going on, but it ended up being pretty satisfying. `Identity' was by no means a great film, but it was entertaining, so overall it was a positive experience.
