Identity is a psychological thriller movie directed by James Mangold and starring John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and Amanda Peet. The story follows the events that take place when ten strangers find themselves stranded in a remote motel in the middle of the Nevada desert during a brutal storm. The characters are a diverse group with different backgrounds and personalities ranging from a former cop (John Cusack) to a famous actress (Rebecca De Mornay), and a newlywed couple (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott). As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that these strangers are connected, and their presence at the motel is no coincidence.

The tension mounts as one by one, the guests are killed off in mysterious and gruesome ways. The situation becomes a race against time as the remaining survivors try to figure out who the killer is and how to stop them. With no way to call for help and the storm raging outside, they have to rely on their wits and problem-solving skills to stay alive.

At the same time, a parallel story is told through flashbacks and a subplot featuring a convicted killer (Jake Busey) awaiting execution. These elements slowly unravel, connecting the dots between the characters' past and present, and revealing the shocking truth behind the murders.

The movie is a masterclass in suspense and mystery, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The performances are outstanding, with John Cusack delivering a nuanced and complex portrayal of a man haunted by his past. Ray Liotta is also excellent as a paranoid ex-cop with a dark secret.

Amanda Peet brings a sense of vulnerability and humanity to her role as one of the motel guests, while the other actors round out the cast with strong characterizations and performances.

The cinematography and editing are also noteworthy, as they help create a sense of claustrophobia and isolation within the motel. The use of lighting and color helps to convey the mood and tone of the film, while the sound design heightens the tension and sets the stage for the climactic finale.

Overall, Identity is an intense and gripping movie that will keep audiences guessing until the final revelation. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the impact of a well-executed thriller.

Identity is a 2003 mystery with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.3 and a MetaScore of 64.
