Ridiculously bad

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2003)

I just got back from seeing "Identity." What a letdown!
I've heard it called a smart psychological thriller, but to me it was really more of a lame horror flick filled with plot twists that don't work. You get totally involved in the story and with the characters only to have all your expectations come crashing down.
I don't want to give too much away but, I'm sorry, the end seemed more like a last ditch effort to have everything "make sense" than a clever plot device. It was like the writers dug themselves a hole that they couldn't get out of so POOF! they explained it all away with one absurd "shocker."
I realize the effect they were going for but I found myself rolling my eyes towards the end. I expected so much more from such a fantastic cast.
A big waste of time.
