Identity (2003)
6/10
Not half as good as the reviews say
24 August 2020
I want to start off by saying the postives.
  • the first half of the film is really interesting and good
  • the characters and cast is amazing
  • the realization of the characters true selves is ironicly good
  • very interesting and dramatic scenes at least in the first half
  • the whole plot idea is unique


Now for the negatives which ultimately makes this film not half as good as people say.
  • the 2nd half of the film is really bad
  • the ending is given away half way through and you know that everything your watching is fake leaving little imagination or suspense towards the end
  • there is no twist and the plot seems to end way too quickly. Then there's 30 mins of the film where your just waiting for it to end because you already have expierenced the plot twist and its now anti climactic.
  • the murders are hard to follow and are not very exciting at all
  • there's way too many "convenient" scenes that is caused by crappy writing. Oh the blonde girl opens the door and can only see the shadow of the murderer so nobody still knows who the killer is, pathetic.
  • too many random things happen that were not foreshadowed at all and is just more lazy writing. Why did the car blow up randomly without any foreshadowing whatsoever?
  • the ending isn't a twist and is really anti climactic and cheesy. All suspense is lost and with the typical last scene just leaves no satisfaction for the viewer at all.


Summary: The first half was really interesting and really promising. All to be let down by a really crappy ending and 2nd half. There's too much lazy writing, typical and cheesy scenes that make this a lowsy 6/10 for me. Not the type of movie that deserves this much praise.
