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:
Looking for something different 
2009-10-09 - This is a good movie. I forgot about it. It's definately worth watching. Lots of surprises.
And then there were none 
2009-09-26 - If you liked the old movie "And then there were none" you should enjoy this. I loved it. It's scary and somewhat violent but not gratuitously so. Great psychological thriller with great actors all around!
Great
2009-05-26 - I received a great movie, in great shape, in a short period of time. Very satisfied with service.
2.5 stars out of 4 
2009-05-05 - The Bottom Line:
I respect the fact that Identity tries to offer the audience something more than your standard slasher film, but **spoiler alert** multiple personalities is about the most cliched "twist" imaginable and all the pieces don't add up--Identity may be an interesting failure, but it's still a failure.
Identity dvd
