An interesting suspense movie with decent performances from all involved, as a note Ray Liotta is very good. However the ending of "haha IT WAS A DREAM" combined with another silly twist just means you wasted your time watching it.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An artful and interesting weirdo pot-boiler for at least half the runtime, before the writer and director apparently run out of ideas and the film descends into straight-to-video territory. Nothing will prepare you for the terrible final act, but at least it's over quickly.

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.

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.

This hasn’t lost (or gained) anything since my last viewing 20 years ago: The cast is decent and Mangold creates an atmospheric, claustrophobic setting with the pace never letting up for the entirety of the (short) runtime. Perhaps that’s part of the problem though, as the slew of twists thrown at you at the end pile up a little too quickly and the conclusion feels rushed through as a result. Earns an extra half-star for effort.
