Description
IDENTITY directed by James Mangold is a thriller set at an isolated motel in rural Nevada during an unrelenting rainstorm. With all roads washed out and all forms of communication dead a group of people become stranded at the motel along with the shifty manager (John Hawkes). Among the stranded are Ed (John Cusack) a former cop turned limo driver Caroline (Rebecca De Mornay) a self-absorbed actress Paris (Amanda Peet) a prostitute attempting to escape her profession Rhodes (Ray Liotta) a cop transporting a prisoner (Jake Busey) Lou (William Lee Scott) and Ginny (Clea DuVall) bickering newlyweds and George (John McGinley) and Alice (Leila Kenzle) a married couple travelling with their young son. Soon the waterlogged lodgers start dying in mysterious--and brutal--ways and the increasingly dwindling number of survivors must discover the killer to prevent their own demises. BR Riveting from the opening sequence Mangolds suspenseful murder mystery wastes no time in turning on the tension. Realising that truly scary cinema comes from the unknown and the unexpected Mangold and screenwriter Michael Cooney keep the audience--and the films characters--in the dark and continually create situations that go from bad to worse for the luckless travellers. Cusack anchors the film as the resigned but noble former policeman while Peet reveals a depth previously unseen in her other movies. Actors such as Liotta McGinley Hawkes and De Mornay round out the fine ensemble cast. As with many thrillers IDENTITY has a big twist but because of the filmmakers excellent slight of hand its unlikely viewers will predict the outcome.
