An Excellent Film

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2003)

I went to see Identity not knowing what to expect. From the many trailers and commercials I have seen, it looked like just another cheesy thriller where people die left and right. I couldn't have been more wrong. I sat for a good five minutes in the theater after the movie and just thought about what I had just seen. The twists and turns the movie takes make it a worthy heir to The Usual Suspects or Fight Club. Don't get me wrong, no movie will ever be as great or quite the same as The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Memento, Seven, etc... but this movie is definitely worth a view. Overall, a great thriller with an excellent ending. I am not a big fan of Ray Liotta, but he was almost as good as John Cusack (who was great) in this movie.
