Product Description
What if every choice we ever make was already made for us? What if there really were no coincidences in life and our destinies were already predetermined? Ten strangers with secrets are brought together in a savage rainstorm: A limo driver (John Cusack) an '80's TV star (Rebecca DeMornay) a cop (Ray Liotta) who is transporting a killer (Jake Busey) a call girl (Amanda Peet) a pair of newlyweds (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) and a family in crisis (John C. McGinley Leila Kenzle Bret Loehr) all take shelter at a desolate motel run by a nervous night manager (John Hawkes). Relief in finding shelter is quickly replaced with fear as the ten travelers begin to die one by one. They soon realize that if they are to survive they'll have to uncover the secret that has brought them all together.System Requirements:Runtime: 90 minsFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: R UPC: 043396184558 Manufacturer No: 18455

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

A pleasant surprise of a movie! - Reviewed on 2008-06-02
1 customer found this review helpful.
Identity brings to the screen a group of people converging on a motel in the middle of nowhere during a terrible storm. When the first bodies appear they soon realize that they are not all what they seem to be...
There are slight hints of Clue and Agatha Christie with a touch of the X-Files so the movie falls into the action/adventure/mystery/thriller/horror type of category.
John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Alfred Molina, Ray Liota, and most of the rest of the cast carry out their performances well (the young couple was not all that exciting).
The plot, the setting, the dialogues, the music, and the special effects, are all good.
In short, Identity is a movie worth watching if you are in the mood for a decent thriller as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment. 4 Stars
