Decent little suspense film that could've been way better had the directing focused less on all the crazy twists and more on entertainment. If we've learned nothing else from Goodfellas it's this: never trust Ray Liotta. A great Leonard Maltin game candidate.

Identity is an interesting film that I stumbled upon. The concept at the outset feels generic but as the plot unravels and the suspense kicks in, this is a reasonably thought provoking thriller. Love or hate the ending, on first viewing I never would of predicted it. Looking back though it's a slightly annoying ending and I feel a little cheated. The cast is pretty good, Cusack and Liotta do enough to carry the film. And Molina popping up every now and then is always a winner. Worth a watch.

I thought this was a fine psychological mystery to sit through and ends up being a pretty good movie by the end. Not great nor does it have a lot of surprises other than the deaths but still, it's a fun watch. I like John Cusack and while Peet is hot I'm not sure I like her.

Obvious twist is obvious. Seriously, I ain't the sharpest tool in the box, but I saw it coming a mile off. And then again with the twist-upon-a-twist at the end. Actually, if you were surprised by anything that happened in this film, please send me a private message because I know a Nigerian prince who's in a spot of financial trouble and would like to make your acquaintance...

Competent thriller, with a good premise that Mangold doesn't quite exploit to its full potential. Cusack, Liotta & Co are all pretty good, and the harrowing atmosphere is well created and maintained. Minor plot holes aside, the twists are well presented if not well hidden, and personally I'm not sure if I liked the ending, but at least it was pleasingly tragic. Solid entertainment.

A promising start that crashes and burns before your eyes. Gets a few things modestly right, and I dig the cast, but I...I just can't get behind this movie. The twist is a total fucking cheat not to mention completely unintentionally hilarious. This cast deserves better material. This viewer deserves a better movie.

I could kind of deal with the fact that they're all different split personalities, but then they totally lost me with the even cheesier twist. Most notable for a decent cast and the fact that this could very well have been Donald Kaufman's lost script.

Il ne faut pas se contenter du twist pour dire que c'est formidable ! Ne jamais sous-estimer l'importance des préliminaires ! Et c'est pas du luxe avec Amanda Peet qui surjoue à côté de tous les autres qui sont sous-employés. On ne peut pas achever son film avec un énorme retournement si ce qui a précédé n'a jamais su faire monter la mayonnaise. Ce qui en fait un divertissement à moitié réussi.

Its both somehow terrible and not. Eh, i actually enjoyed watching it, and i suppose the dumber aspects of it are actually explained away a bit logically, if you think about it (once you know why in the end). I'd say its worth a watch, and try not to run away the first time you see something "dumb". it all comes together, although maybe a bit silly.

Ick. The god-awful twist at the end produces some HUGE plot holes that make everything that came before it... impossible. Stylish enough until then. Whatever happened to just telling a story without jumping around time in a completely nonsensical way? I suppose it suggests the intellectual chaos of the plot effectively, but I can do without it.

Introduces us with an immediate plot hole with the cell phone battery being available to make a call, which would have prevented most of the characters being able to meet. Characters that were single layered stereotypes by the way. Then there's the killer twist which leaves more questions unanswered. You've seen this film before, just not compiled in this order.

I'll admit the twist was surprising, and overall it worked, but there are way too many twists and turns and the whole plot is pretty cluttered with attempts to be scary/shocking for the sake of it. A more grounded, focused examination of multiple personality disorder would have worked better, I think.

It doesn't take long into this movie before you stop expecting it to be good and just start enjoying how ridiculous the whole thing is and just let it entertain you. The twist, while stupid and cliche, was simultaneously pretty clever too with how it all wrapped up. Don't expect logic. Could have benefited from Nicolas Cage though. Why wasn't he in this? This would've been the perfect Nic Cage movie.
