In one ten travellers are forced to seek shelter in a remote motel following a sudden torrential downpour. It soon turns out that there may be killer among them as one by one the guests start to go missing. Meanwhile in an office elsewhere a late appeal is being heard to decide the fate of serial killer Malcolm Rivers.

Featuring an excellent cast Identity does an excellent job of keeping the audience guessing throughout, almost everyone seemingly becoming the number one suspect at some point. When the reality eventually unfolds it is a truly unexpected twist that importantly holds up on second viewing. A tense, clever thriller Identity is certainly one to watch.… Expand

One of the best films I never planned to watch, but when I did, I was (positively) shocked and amazed!
Film is interesting enough to get you hooked up to the story, but real thing comes with the end.

Identity is a remarkable film. No doubt. I will call it a masterpiece and rate it with a 10, although in my opinion something very important is not included in the film..

I will call it a masterpiece and rate it with a 10, although in my opinion something very important is not included in the film.. And I will only say, that it's related to the real killings, you will see. But I think the film is genius and we should not crunch. Try to arrange the whole movie from the beginning of the protagonist's life to the day of his supposed ending. It's not that simple. You may have some idea about the end of the movie, but you will be surprised, when you begin to look into the details and find out more. But, for sure, you will be satisfied with this movie.

~ Now.. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!
(Only for those, who want to see a different point of view about the whole film after watching it)

~ Malcolm Rivers is a killer, who suffers from Dissociative identity disorder, a.k.a multiple personality disorder (he has 11 personalities). His mother was a prostitute, and his father left the family when he was two. Probably then he got his illness. It is not known when he was ill. What is certain, however, is that he committed six killings after he became ill. Michael was captured and arrested for his murders, then sentenced to execution. Michael has worked with his psychiatrist who has established his illness, which had never been known to anyone, and tried to justify it, because there are part of him - different personalities who are not guilty (not committed those 6 killings). So his doctor decided to make a new form of healing, gathering all the personalities in one place and the killer personality being killed by other personalities. What we see in the most part of the film is all 11 personalities trying to survive, because they knew, that the aim is killer personality to die. And here is the misleading part. NOT ONLY ONE personality is a killer, but MORE (Larry, the prostitute, the serial killer and probably Ed, the 'fake policeman' have killed for sure in the real life). Like I said all the personalities want to live. But there is one personality, that wants to kill the others and stay alone - the kid personality (he count them with the motel's keys from 10 like the 10 other personalities). It is accidental, that at the end the doctor dies, as Michael is in a "trance", imagining he kills the last personality in his head, but actually kills the doctor in reality. The most important thing in this film is that not only one personality was a killer, committing murders in real life, like the doctor thought, but most of them were.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Ed (John Cusack) shoots Rhodes (Ray Liotta) at the end of the movie, you can see Rhodes mouth the words "I didn't do this" and Ed replies "I know". Neither of these lines are audible. They were muted because the director felt that would make it obvious that Rhodes was not the killer, thus making the true climax (finding that Timmy is the killer) less surprising.… Expand

Identity is an incomparable experience. The movie is very psychological as it unravels and everything becomes clear. The scares rock, the acting rocks, the freeze frames rock, the eerie music rocks & the ending will stun you.

Identity is a vivid example of a well-staged thriller in which suspense is injected consistently and correctly. Here is a rather simple plot, but the presence of a hidden second ending in the film changes everything. Yes, a good cast gatheredIdentity is a vivid example of a well-staged thriller in which suspense is injected consistently and correctly. Here is a rather simple plot, but the presence of a hidden second ending in the film changes everything. Yes, a good cast gathered here and there are a couple of competently placed twists. But the main thing in the film is that it is essentially chamber. Namely, chamber makes the thriller especially exciting. Even knowing the ending of the film and reviewing it after 5-7 years, you can understand that there are not many films like Identity. There are many good chamber films, even more high-quality thrillers, but there are not so many good chamber thrillers.… Expand
