Storyline
Strangers from all different walks of life: a limo driver escorting a movie star, parents with a young son, a cop transporting a convict, a prostitute, a young couple, and a motel manager are caught up in a nasty rainstorm, stuck at a motel in desolate Nevada. Soon they realize they may be at the motel for another reason when one by one, people start getting killed off. As tensions flare and fingers are pointed, they have to get to the bottom of why they're there. Meanwhile in an undisclosed location, a psychiatrist is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial. How these two through-lines are related can only be found in Identity.

Well done..
Great cast, decent story; good job!
Edgy
Nice twist at the end
Unpredictable. Kept you at the edge of your seat.
intens jump few times more victums than psycho las 15 mins lil confusing though
you will NOT guess this ending, better than average movie
Lots of suspense too!
Sorry, I very much DID guess the ending.
That didn’t stop me from enjoying this film. It was fairly suspenseful and moody with the opening sequences setting a good pace for the rest of the flick.
The movie does dip into the pot of overused cliches however for some of the characters and the obvious "now THAT was a stupid move…" was resorted to as well.
Despite some of its flaws though it was certainly more entertaining than most of the films I’ve seen this year. I clearly understood the movie poster better after having seen the movie.
As to how I guessed the ending, well the convict’s words gave me the biggest clue as to what was going on and then… well, I’ve said enough.
