A lame-brained nut job in search of an identity of its own.
Top CriticA nihilist project in Usual Suspects mode: Nothing is as it seems, because nothing matters in the least.
[A] very well made horror thriller.
Assorted examples of artificially flavoured humanity ... proceed to panic, bicker and run with the customary perversity that characters in situations like this do toward their gory destinies.
Deserves credit for at least trying something fresh in the psychological-thriller realm, and for the mood of goofball creepiness it creates.
More than an entertaining thriller. It's a highly original one.
Scary beyond belief serial killer thriller.
A good cast is enacting this fancy rubbish; what drew them to the material besides its self-conscious cleverness is beyond me.
Mangold stretches the pathology parameters into something a bit more depraved and decidedly bloodier, with even a touch of the supernatural. Or does he?"
It's been awhile since a murder-mystery thriller really held my attention, and for that reason alone Identity deserves a high mark. But I'm still not comfortable with the ending.
The cast is game, the twists are clever, the writing is tight.
An ingenious thriller molded from Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". The film's incredibly entertaining even with the measurably predictable twist.
With a top notch cast, wonderful direction, and a great play on an old premise, Identity is a must-see.
... every predictable move comes unraveled again with an uncanny discovery.

- Malcolm Rivers: As I was going up the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away.
