Good but feels like cheat.

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2003)

"Identity" is another well played cat and mouse game. The most enjoyable aspect of this film is James Mangold assured direction, while the film never really gets past cheap scare tactics. Like "Spider" this movie deals with schizophrenia and is being marketed as a horror film, but it plays more like a thriller, "Identity" perhaps more audience-friendly. By its surprise ending I felt cheated and tainted my enjoyment of the film. Nevertheless, this film is done quite well(photography, acting, music, editing, etc.) and deserves a 7/10.
