Identity
A group of strangers are stranded at a motel in the middle of nowhere with no phone and with a killer on the loose. One by one the travelers are picked off, as they discover that something even stranger is going on. I'm going to start by listing the stuff I really liked about the movie. It had great acting, a cool setting, and a nice diversity of characters. However, the plot has been done before and was a cheap twist, in my opion at least. If you go into this movie expecting a stright out slasher, you will be disappointed. It's no thtta kind of movie. I won't give the twist away, but I felt cheated out of a cool story. 2.5 out of 5.
