Pretty disappointing in the end

Rating: Null/10 (9 September 2003)

I expected this movie to be really good, and it is entertaining up until the "big twist" at the end, which just ruined everything. The performances were good all around, and it could have been a solid thriller if it weren't for the cop-out ending. As it is, though, I certainly could have lived without ever having seen it. I do feel the need to say to all the people who rave about this movie and how original it is and then call anyone who disagrees with them an idiot - just because someone doesn't share your opinions, it really doesn't mean they're beneath you in intelligence. If you were a mature adult, you would realize that, and when you start name-calling, you sound really insecure. Truth is, there really isn't one scene or idea in this movie that hasn't been done before, and better in some cases. Also, it in NO WAY compares to The Ring in the chills department. The Ring did have a few cliches, but it was actually original. Unlike Identity. All in all, this was just a let-down.
