Very stylish and moody thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2003)

"Identity" is a clever thriller with wonderful concept.Ten very different strangers,including a chauffeur(Ray Liotta),an actress(Rebecca De Mornay),a prostitute(Amanda Peet)and a cop(Ray Liotta)escorting the prisoner(Jake Busey)become stranded in an isolated motel.Soon the guests start dying.The film is obviously inspired by Agatha Christie's novel "Ten Little Indians".The acting is good and there is a good amount of suspense and violence.The ending is totally surprising and unexpected.The concept of multiple personality is nothing new,but it works very well here.So if you liked "Identity",try to find Daniel Keyes excellent book "The Minds of Billy Milligan" about serial rapist,who had 24 different personalities.Highly recommended.
