“Identity” makes for a good rainy-night rental.

Mangold stretches the pathology parameters into something a bit more depraved and decidedly bloodier, with even a touch of the supernatural. Or does he?

Algunas risas e insultos que se escucharon en la sala no me dejan mentir: Identidad es, llanamente, una decepción. Te promete que tu estadía en el motel va a ser cinco estrellas, y al final ni siquiera había motel.

A lame-brained nut job in search of an identity of its own.

Top CriticThe actors are good; the writing is clever and risky, but it’s Mangold’s excellent sense of just what to bring out and just when that makes this movie so effective.
