1. Quality

2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   This is the way that thrillers are supposed to be made. With an all star cast, Identity is one of the few thrillers that will have you guessing until the last 2 minutes of the movie. 10 strangers find themselves trapped in a motel in the middle of a storm and when they start getting murdered 1 by 1, the race is on to find the killer. With great performances and a “killer” story (pun intended), this movie is the way it is supposed to be done.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   The actors in this film is a-list and give great performances. John Cusack is a worthy main character and is fantastic as a former cop who tries to put the pieces together while finding out that he is the main one.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

10. Film

    Good 3.0

    The directing and editing of this film are great, and without giving too much away, the editing takes a crucial role halfway through the film.

11. Direction Good 3.0

12. Play Good 3.0

13. Music Good 3.0

14. Visuals Good 3.0

    Risqué 2.2

    Being a murder thriller, there is a fair amount of violence and gore but everything moves the story along.

17. Sex

18. Violence Brutal 3.0

19. Rudeness Salty 2.5

21. Reality
