Pros: The acting.
Cons: Everything else.
Summary: Just when I thought the insidious The Life of David Gale was the nuttiest movie of 2003, along comes something even nuttier: the psuedo-thriller Identity. We're talking Fruit Loops City here, folks. Less logical than the ...

Pros: Clever little who dunit thriller that heads off into left field with no previous warning.
Cons: Not what I would call re-watchable.
Summary: Identity (2003) Directed by James Mangold "Yesterday upon the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there, He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish, he'd go away." The set up is appropriately creepy enough. A ...

Pros: cast
Cons: the obivous
Summary: It is a bit difficult to discuss this movie without giving away anything. I will admit I had a bit of fun with this one, figuring out who the bad guy/gal was from the onset. I know, from past experience, when they shove the obvious answer down your ...

Pros: Atmosphere, Style, Performances
Cons: Crappy ending that's just a cop out to the story
Summary: Identity is partially based on the Agatha Christie story "And Then There Were None", in which ten people are brought out to a remote island and killed off one by one. But the problem is, no one knows who is doing the killing and they don't understand the ...

Pros: A fairly simple idea
Cons: I’m not entirely sure about the execution
Summary: There’s always movies I want to see in theatres, but for some reason or another I don’t get to, and therefore eagerly await their DVD release. Such is the case with Kill Bill Volume 2 (come on and hurry up already, I want to see how the story ...

Pros: Unique, good plot, nice (but predictable) twist.
Cons: Predictable. Confusing at the beginning.
Summary: This is one of those movies that seems to try to be experimenting way too much. At the beginning the time warps and the whole doctor tapes, and then the normal type of straight-forward plot, then the "supernatural" aspect, it all switches. I wish that ...

Pros: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, John C. McGinley, the atmosphere.
Cons: The ending...
Summary: Note: If you don't want the ending ruined, don't read any further. When I first saw the trailer for IDENTITY, I couldn't help but have high hopes. With actors like John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and John C. McGinley, one would have to work very hard ...

Pros: suspenseful, interesting, and a change from other thrillers.
Cons: not exactly scary and sometimes slow.
Summary: I actually came across Identity by accident. I don't remember hearing anything about it or even seeing a trailer for it. My husband wanted me to rent Bourne Identity and I went to D

and searched ...

Pros: Cusack, Liotta & Peet
Cons: A very thin premise is torn asunder by one of the most gimicky twists ever
Summary: What is it about thrillers these days? Instead of concentrating on a suspenseful, well-told story with good characters, the purveyors of this genre seem to be intent on out-doing each other with increasingly outrageous plot twists. Throughout the past ...

Pros: Keeps you guessing!
Cons: Unoriginal, how many mystery thrillers involving killers have we seen?
Summary: James Mangold directs ´Identity´ the late summers´ mystery flick. He´s brought a good cast together including John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Rebecca De Mornay, John Hawkes and Alfred Molina. The plot looks plain and simple in the beginning; a group ...

Pros: The movie is not what it seems, Ending is very original, Good actors.
Cons: The movie is not what it seems, Ending is very original but absurd.
Summary: Identity is not the best movie I have ever seen, but it was one of the most original I have seen. Let's just say the movie has a lot of personality. From start until practically finish you will not be able to guess who the killer is or even fat ...

Pros: You will be on the edge of your seat
Cons: Nothing.
Summary: In a time when there aren't too many edge of your seat thrillers, along comes Identity. A lone roadside motel is the setting where 11 people are stranded and are destined to die one by one. After each murder a key tag is left by the body starting with 1 ...

Pros: Suspense so thick you could cut it wit a knife
Cons: some slightly confusing flashbacks
Summary: You won't usually see me writing a review, when so many other reviews are in place, unless a rebuttal is in order! I can't help but notice that a majority of the reviews on this movie were not complimentary. Some totally bashed it, which I can't see at ...

Pros: Definately the twist!
Cons: The fact that it could've been just another predictable thriller.
Summary: How does this sound? A bunch of strangers 10 to be exact, are brought together when they are all stranded in a savage rainstorm. The phone lines are down and the roads are blocked! Limo driver (John Cusack), washed out 80's TV star (Rebecca DeMornay), a c ...

Sep 06 '03
Pros: Cusack, Liotta, even Peet insofar as that can be managed. Almost all of the screenplay.
Cons: The last five minutes, which kills everything else off... Ha.
Summary: Be warned that there is no significantly interesting way to review this movie without giving away it’s secret. A short, fairly useless ‘review’ will be followed by something more properly referred to as ‘my review’. Be further warned that this revie ...
