The secret lies within.

Identity (2003) follows ten strangers who seek shelter at an isolated Nevada desert motel when a severe storm cuts off all access to the outside world. As the guests begin to die in a numbered sequence and suspicion shifts among them, the killings intensify and expose hidden connections that bind them together. This thriller blends closed-circle mystery, psychological tension, and nonlinear structure in an examination of identity, guilt, and the fragmentation of the self.

  • A film that’s a master of deceit and sleight of hand but not necessarily manipulative or dishonest, Identity unravels a tale that’s smart, bold, surprisingly engaging, and not soon forgotten.

    Martin Liebman, Identity Blu-ray review (Blu-ray.com, 2009)
