It has been a while since I've seen a movie as stupid as `Identity.' The film had a great amount of potential but the way the film was handled is what made it fail. The first act was a bit interesting in the way all these people ended up on a motel in a rainy day.
The second act was esoteric and that's what I liked about it. I liked how clever all the murders were and trying to figure out who is committing them all. Then the film goes down hill from there.
We come to discover that the whole movie is a fantasy of a mental patient who has many split personalities and has committed several crimes and a psychiatrist is trying to prevent him from being send to death row.

All that is fine and interesting but everything just seems to get more and more stupider from there on. I had suspected the kid to be the killer when I noticed a resemblance between Malcolm and Tim and when they showed Tim's name in Malcolm's journal. But I honestly didn't think the director would take us in that direction. Especially since Ray Liotta made an interesting villain.
Like I stated earlier the movie had potential but the story itself was not polished properly and the convict getting murdered by having a bat down his throat was a bit too humorous.
RATING: 2 STARS (**)
