Identity (DVD) Reviews

I first saw 'Identity' in the cinema and during the film my friend and I frequently exchanged puzzled looks. There is a mystery that builds up through the movie that is really exciting the first time you watch. As with all films that rely on these kind of twists and turns though, once you know what is going on that suspense is gone. Crucially, ...

This is a psychological thriller filled with a group of amazing actors and actresses that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the very first scene to the very last. I was very impressed with the concept of this film. The plot twists that this movie takes you on are extremely thrilling and exciting and leave you guessing the entire film. ...

Identity is one of those films that stays in your mind for a long time after, the cast is great and the story which revolves ten people going to a motel in the middle of nowhere to avoid a powerful storm, only to be killed off one by one has a strong sense of mystery despite and as easy as it may be to kill ten people off, the film is full of ...

When 10 strangers, all travelling through the night, are caught in a wild storm they take shelter in a miles-from-anywhere motel. Thinking they're just there for the duration of the storm they make themselves comfortable and wait for the weather to ease. The weather is so bad that all communications are down and roads in and out of the ...

Director James Mangold secured a job helming the much-fancied Johnny Cash biopic, "Walk The Line", on the strength of this, a stormy noir variation on Agatha Christie pick-'em-off "Ten Little Indians". Driving a has-been studio diva through rain-lashed Nevada, John Cusack's taciturn chauffeur hits a dead end when ...

It is darkest night. There is a torrential rainstorm. Roads become flooded. Public phone lines are brought down. Cell phones cannot get signals. Ten strangers are forced to abandon their journeys and take refuge at a lonely motel run by a guy not shuffling a full deck. So far, so Hitchcock. The motel is next to an ancient Indian ...

I must confess that I deliberately avoided this film, partly due to the trailers showing it as part of the basic ?lots-of-stupid-people-get-knocked-off-one-by-one? genre and partly because it has John Cusack - one of my all time favourite actors - play the hero ?Ed? and I just didn?t want to see him degrade or lower himself in a ?slasher? film. ...

Two weeks ago I reported that I made a choice between seeing 2 Fast 2 Furious and Identity. Sadly on that occasion I chose the lame 2 Fast but enough about that 'film'. I decided to re-address the balance by seeing Identity, I wished I'd have made the right choice two weeks ago. It's night on the lonely highways of the ...

This film is the best suspense I have seen for ages. If you are going to the cinema this weekend, this is definitely a good choice. The film starts off with a story, as all horror/suspense films do. Obviously it isn’t as scary if it’s a lovely sunny day with fluffy bunny rabbits and lambs hopping round. Ten ...

On the surface Identity appears to be of the old school thriller - Ten strangers all converge on an isolated spot where they are picked off one by one. This is classic Agatha Christie?s Ten Little Niggers, (or more politically correct And Then There Were None or not quite politically correct Ten Little Indians) which has been adapted many times ...

I had seen a lot of trailers in the cinema for this film and my first impression was a scary movie. It was the part when they say it's my birthday next week, me to, me too, yeah. This part is not significant though, well it actually is in some ways but not as in that is the reason why they are dying it is more complex than this. It was a great ...

Do you like thrillers?Do you want to spend some time watching an interesting thriller? Identity is the kind of film that the lovers of clever thrillers will enjoy. The cast and theme of the film: 10 people that they don?t know each other are ending up in a hotel- among them is Ed (John Cusack), an ex-policeman and now driver of ...

Now here's a film that's a nightmare to review. It's difficult to review this without mentioning why I've rated it as such and doing so may cause you to hunt me down and shoot me; a fate which has come upon previous reviews who have given a whole film away for those who've never seen it. As usual I've tried to keep ...
