Review of Identity (2012) by Cynthia H — 13 Jul 2014

Good, but not great. Started off quite lamely, and seemed like it was just going to be another average slasher-whodunit-thriller. However, the first twist made it into an interesting psychological drama. This twist was not enough to sustain the movie though, and the second twist just seemed gratuitous, for the sake of a climactic ending.

Reasonably entertaining and intriguing though, despite all its faults.

Performances are so-so. Amanda Peet is about the only actor/actress that shines. John Cusack and Ray Liotta should be the stars but just seem like they're trying too hard. John C McGinley is irritating in his role - he should stick to comedy.
