Unpredictable thriller. They thought he is okey.all his personalities was good except one.they thought he is ok coz all the personalities he described in his motel story was told clearly But inside his head one personality was still alive and that was that little kid and and the killer personality .
Identity by James Mangold is a good thriller. Boasting of a huge cast it is a take on the Agatha Christie idea of death of every character one by one as the killer is finally revealed. The setup is a motel in Texas where one night a group of 10 strangers come together and one by one start getting hacked off. The acting is uniformly good and the pacing is good. Identity has a 60 percent average overall but it is a better effort than that.
Not too often I see something this intriguing and intense that I think about it for days and days after! I missed this one first time around . Not sure why? All I can say is its amongst the very best I've seen in the psychological thriller/ mystery type film. Lots of twists and turns along the way; and be sure to follow the plot closely; as the thing wraps up in a very interesting way! First rate stuff!
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!
