Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

All I understand from the film is that someone committed crimes and impersonates other people. But the movie seems somewhat ambiguous to me. What does Rivers have to do with Edward? Is he a personality? Is timothy else? The end of the movie was mysterious.

The atmosphere, good cast, great story, and other things that I won't say to spoil it.

PROS: This movie was such an amazing find. To start off, the way the characters interacted was unbelievably thought out and intricate. There wasn't a single actor that didn't do or say something without a purpose. The way everything was strung together, from character interaction to plot lines, was completely flawless. You were never bored and you were never directly given any answer. What I really like is when you are forced to think with the characters, not for them. It allows the watcher to become invested in the film. Not only was I invested for some of the film, but I was captivated by the whole film from beginning to end. There wasn't a single scene that dragged or didn't have a purpose. This includes the resolution which, if I might add, was the best ending to any movie I've seen in the past month. The last thing that I'll add was how spectacular the actors were. I loved the cast and the raw emotion that they showed. With such a large cast it's hard to find a good actor for each role, but IDENTITY did that.CONS: This con might not seem like a big deal, but it is very important to me. The trailer was very poorly put together. I pick which movies I watch based on trailers, and I almost didn't pick this one because of its poor editing and plot description. It's not important to everyone, but I review films from on screen to off screen, and the trailer is what sells, therefore I must review that too.www.chorror.com

This movie isn't what you think it is. You think it's about a group of people, isolated without outside contact. They start being killed one by one. Each other is the suspect. Sounds like countless suspense slasher type thrillers doesn't it? But nooooooooo. There is a very surprising strange interesting twist as to what is really going on. And then the end has another shocking twist. And it's good.It's a good movie all the way through with a good ending. The clues are in title, and the opening sequence as to what's really going on. This is a damn good psychological thriller with excellent acting all around. I recommend for people that like Momento, The Number 23, and Secret Window. I gave it a 8/10.
