Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It's an exasperating exercise in B-movie hokum and screenwriter's gimmickry. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: 80 minutes of cliches, overacting and hackneyed coincidences. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Identity doesn't outfox the audience; it just makes us feel like suckers. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [A] very well made horror thriller. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's a relentlessly tricky and scary show, with a bit more plot and humanity than this kind of modern Grand Guignol usually gives us. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: The apparent premise, creaky though it may be, holds ample opportunity for suspense and second-guessing, and Mr. Mangold handles the revelations and reversals of Michael Cooney's script with nerve-racking aplomb. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Identity may be a one-trick pony, but it's quite a trick. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Throughout, the film teeters tantalizingly on the preposterous, but James Mangold's astute direction and Michael Cooney's carefully thought-out script keep it from sliding over the edge. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: This isn't a story: It's a catalog of gruesome murders. Read more
Ricardo Baca, Denver Post: A film that is thiiiis close to nailing the whole suspense/thriller/ serial-killer genre. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Delighting in his own considerable cleverness and cineast's knowledge of movie history, Mangold shuffles the elements like a three-card-monte pro. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Effective, well-crafted chiller. Read more
John Powers, L.A. Weekly: Enjoyably swervy. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: It can make for an exasperating ride, since the filmmakers fudge the line between earnest manipulation and flip self-mockery. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: An over-directed slasher picture full of arty tricks and slumming stars. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: I think it's a fascinating movie that, if you are able to make the leap it asks of you at about the three-quarter mark, will give you something to think and talk about for days. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A lame-brained nut job in search of an identity of its own. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: What starts out as a seemingly-routine excursion into genre cliches emerges into a more complex and satisfying arena than most viewers will anticipate. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The director, James Mangold, and the writer, Michael Cooney, play fair, sort of, and once you understand their thinking you can trace back through the movie and see that they never cheated, exactly. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: More than an entertaining thriller. It's a highly original one. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It starts as Agatha Christie but mutates into Stephen King. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Opens with its mind nicely intact, suffers a major crisis about 30 minutes in, then bad turns to worse. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: 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. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: With moments of mind-bending creepiness, the film has potential, but eventually it devolves into merely a head-scratcher. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: A nihilist project in Usual Suspects mode: Nothing is as it seems, because nothing matters in the least. Read more
