Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

betty dalton Just impossible to tell ANYTHING about this movie. You shouldnt read ANY spoilers because everything is depending on the plot of the story.Great acting from John Cusack, Ray Liotta and some excellent supporting actors. Suspensefull camerawork. Eerie dark music. Add a who dunnit story and you have got "Identity".When I am doubting if I wanna see a movie I usually check the director's other work and in this case that was the key reason to go see "Identity" because director James Mangold made: "Heavy" with Liv Taylor, "Copland" with Robert de Niro, Harvey Keitel, "Walk the Line" with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. All of James Mangolds movies are excellent. Although I must admit that "Identity" has a rather cheesy slasher side to it that wasnt in his other pictures, but judging "Identity" as a cheesy slasher movie it is good and really enjoyable. James Mangold also made "Logan" recently. If you liked that you will probably like this as well.I really can recommend this movie if you wanna see a dark full on suspense movie with a great whodunnit theme. I give it a well deserved 7. Great popcornmovie!

cmovies-99674 PROS: This movie was such an amazing find. To start off, the way the characters interacted was unbelievably thought out and intricate. There wasn't a single actor that didn't do or say something without a purpose. The way everything was strung together, from character interaction to plot lines, was completely flawless. You were never bored and you were never directly given any answer. What I really like is when you are forced to think with the characters, not for them. It allows the watcher to become invested in the film. Not only was I invested for some of the film, but I was captivated by the whole film from beginning to end. There wasn't a single scene that dragged or didn't have a purpose. This includes the resolution which, if I might add, was the best ending to any movie I've seen in the past month. The last thing that I'll add was how spectacular the actors were. I loved the cast and the raw emotion that they showed. With such a large cast it's hard to find a good actor for each role, but IDENTITY did that.CONS: This con might not seem like a big deal, but it is very important to me. The trailer was very poorly put together. I pick which movies I watch based on trailers, and I almost didn't pick this one because of its poor editing and plot description. It's not important to everyone, but I review films from on screen to off screen, and the trailer is what sells, therefore I must review that too.www.chorror.com

Harry T. Yung Spoilers warning: for a 14-year-old movie Stumbling across this DVD recently, I looked up some reviews by both critics and users. A bit surprising that they are unanimously favourable.The fiendishly tantalising thing in these critic reviews is the references to the clever twist. They generally tell you that it is so clever that you cannot possibly see it coming. Then, one or two of them drop torturous hints that well, maybe, just maybe you can get something from this or that particular scene. If you don't think you have truly experienced frustration, try reading some of these critic reviews on "Identity".The main story, for those who know (from book or screen) Agatha Christie's popular mystery about ten people stranded in an isolated location being killed off one after another (title changed so many times, for political correctness, that I won't bother), look familiar. But look is deceiving.The "parallel" story, intersecting the main story with much shorter scenes, starts with an exasperated judge being called in late hours to hear the defence's final plead for a serial murderer going to execution in 24 hours. The psychiatrist's defence is multiple-personality, which might be novel for the 2003 movie, has been exploited to the fullest in the recent "Split" (2016).While the key plot twist was considered really clever back in 2003, it is less so for today's seasoned audience. It does not take a lot to put two and two together: the murder mystery is something in the serial killer's mind. With this one clean broad stroke, anything and everything that looks implausible is neatly exonerated. Not Agatha Christie after all - no ingenious plot. But there is one small FINAL twist that is quite clever. In the murder mystery (in the serial killer's head, remember), the sole survivor finds peace and quiet in the life she seeks. But a loose end has been hanging – two of the earlier victims met their death heading towards a car that exploded, presumably killing them. But absolutely nothing remained of these two, not even a small piece of charred substance. This was glossed over in the scene. But when one of those two (a pre-teen boy) turns up to kill the "sole survivor", the audience is not really surprised. It would appear that this is the true killer. But those in the audience who take one more step in their thinking will remember that there is one other purportedly killed in the car explosion. It is a woman, who never appears again. She is most likely to be the final, final true killer. This, however, is never confirmed in the movie.Despite the fact that the "clever twists" have lost their freshness, this is a movie well worth watching, for the good direction (James Mangold) and cast which includes John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John Hawkes and Alfred Molina.

kowshikganguly Identity is a movie of 2003. I am a lover of Thrilling movies. So, I have watched it some month ago. After watching this, I cannot imagine that it is a movie of 2003. It has several twists that changed the genre of the movie. At first I have thought that it is a horror film but twist changed everything. All actor showed their best. So, It is a must watch film indeed. Thanks Hollywood for making this brilliant movie.
