Identity
(Reviewed April 20, 2003)
-
Best way to sum up my feelings on this movie: It vanished from my mind so soon after I left the theatre that I completely forgot to review it for over a week.
The worst thing about "Identity" is that I had the nagging feeling the writer thought the script was clever. Somehow, that sort of arrogant contempt for the audience's intelligence offended me. But maybe I'm wrong; maybe the guy knew he was writing crap from the outset.
A bunch of characters converge in very unlikely circumstances at a motel and start dying one by one. Your first reaction: Holy Jesus, I can't believe anybody would make yet another one of these movies. Later, when a character makes a remark about how the situation is just like a movie where characters get picked off one by one, you will want to run from the theatre. Screaming. "Yeah, we get it, this movie is stupid and derivative--you didn't have to tell us!" Then comes the plot's little twist, which is more idiocy.
Also, absolutely nobody gets naked or partially so...which should pretty much remove any reasons whatsoever that anyone might have to pay for a ticket to garbage like this.
