Nothing special

Rating: 5/10 (3 August 2003)

Identity: 5/10

Identity is a very in-the-middle movie that scares you a bit, but eventually lets you down because of a poor, predictable script (until later on, more below), and wooden characters. It had two very good leads, Ray Liotta and John Cusack, but these talented actors were given a basic, wooden script. This movie basically sees characters die one by one in gruesome fashion, and each time they have a key with a room number tag attached. It goes in countdown form (first victim has room 10, second has room 9, etc.). Later on, the only ambitious twist of the movie occurs, and basically tears all emotional attachment to characters away - that's if you can ignore the wooden script and be attached to said characters. Overall, it'll scare you at times, and is fine for one time viewing, but that's all.
