Editorial Review:
A whodunit revolving around a group of 10 strangers who find themselves running from a desert storm. They hole up in a roadside motel that proves as hospitable as the Bates Motel. The patrons are killed, one by one, and the survivors must try to figure out who the killer is before they, too, check out... permanently! Stars John Cusack (upcoming The Runaway Jury, America’s Sweethearts), Ray Liotta (Narc, Hannibal, Unlawful Entry), Rebecca DeMornay (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Never Talk to Strangers), Jake Busey (Tomcats, Starship Troopers), Amanda Peet (upcoming The Whole Ten Yards, High Crimes), Alfred Molina (Frida, Chocolat), John C. McGinley (Stealing Harvard, The Animal, TV’s Scrubs), Directed by James Mangold (Kate & Leopold, Girl, Interrupted, Cop Land).
Description of Identity:
With an ace up its sleeve, Identity does for schizophrenia what The Silence of the Lambs did for fava beans and a nice chianti. On the proverbial dark and stormy night, this anxiety-laced thriller offers a tasty blend of And Then There Were None and Psycho, with a dash of Sybil for extra spice and psychosis. Things go from bad to worse when 10 unrelated travelers converge at an isolated motel and proceed to die, one by one, with no apparent connection... until they discover the common detail that's drawn them into this nightmare of relentless trauma. Even as it flunks Abnormal Psychology 101, Michael Cooney's screenplay offers meaty material for a superior ensemble cast including John Cusack and Rebecca DeMornay (who wins the Janet Leigh prize in a bitchy comeback role). Director James Mangold pivots the action around one character (played by his Heavy star, Pruitt Taylor Vince, in eye-twitching cuckoo mode), and half the fun of Identity comes from deciphering who's who, what's what, and who'll be the next to die. --Jeff Shannon
Identity Reviews:
Thrilling scary Loved it. great 
2008-10-07 - I reaaly loved this movie. They were incredible. I watch this a lot all the time. John Cusack is Awesome
Great perofmances, good cinematography, predictable ending 
2008-09-14 - Identity was a pretty good movie runied by a predictable ending. The film reminded of Lifeboat but with a scarier atompshere. The film in my opinion really didn't have any jump out of your seat moments. John Cuscack and Ray Lioltta are in top form as always and Amanda Peet looks yummy as always. My only other compliant with the film was that Jake Busey had such a small part. Still it's James Mangold best film since Copland and worth a look.
This is one of my favorite movies!!!
2008-08-27 - You have to watch this movie more then once to get the actual greatness of it! I love it!! Right down to the end you are nervous for the people & rooting for the others... without giving too much away lol. I highly recommend it!!
Even better the second time around.
2008-08-11 - I just watched Identity for the second time and even though I knew the ending, it still was very good. In fact, you notice some very interesting behavior from one of the characters that you might have missed the first time. In my opinion, this movie has one of the freakiest endings ever on film. And no I refuse to spoil it for anyone, watch it yourself and see.
good movie 
2008-07-23 - I bought this ised dvd since i am a john cusack fan. It's not one of his best but had a good plot.
