Anyone seen this yet. I watched it last night. I was riveted to the screen the entire time. My nieghbor was watching well , he came away saying WTF ?? I will never watch that again. I on the other hand will play it over and over. The twists in the film were new , and a bit refreshing vs the ussual tactics pulled now. It kept me interested the whole time. Cusak, Liota and Busey were great in the parts, I feel it could be an unsung hit on the rental market.

I found it boring and extremely predictable.

I could tell what was going to happen about five minutes into the movie, partially due to previews where they stupidly give away important information. I really don't understand why they felt the need to introduce both plot threads at once, as you really don't need one of them until the end.

I love John Cusack and Ray Liota but Identity was a can of ass.

It was a Twilight Zone episode stretched into feature film length. While it had it's good points, it's hard to make a solid movie based on such a remarkable premise. I would have perferred a supernatural twist as oppossed to what was presented.

Good thing I haven't seen previews then, I really enjoyed this movie.
The very ending in the truck was a bit cheezy though, I'd rather feel sorry for the guy than hate him.

Haven't seen it yet or much of the hype before hand. I'll prolly get it on DVD if I happen to have any cash burning a hole in my pocket. That happens too rarely these days.
