Synopsis

Ten strangers are brought together during a weather emergency, only to discover a far greater danger awaits them in this suspense-drama. A sudden rainstorm in a remote desert town strands a disparate variety of people at a rundown motel. A convict sentenced to death, Malcolm Rivers (Pruitt Taylor Vince), is stuck in transit with his lawyer (Alfred Molina). Ginny and Lou (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) are a not-especially-happy pair of young marrieds on their honeymoon. Ed (John Cusack) is a bright and resourceful chauffeur working for actress Caroline Suzanne (Rebecca De Mornay). George York (John C. McGinley) is a concerned husband trying to find help for his wife (Leila Kenzle, who was struck by Caroline's limo. Paris (Amanda Peet) is a prostitute who wants to move on to a better life. And Rhodes (Ray Liotta) is a police detective who has in his custody Robert Maine (Jake Busey), a dangerous and deranged criminal. As the rain pours down and motel manager Larry (John Hawkes) tries to care for his customers, one by one the unexpected guests begin losing their lives at the hands of a murderer. As the body count mounts, the stranded travelers struggle to find out who the killer is; however, they also learn each of them has a secret, and that their arrival at the motel has not been a matter of mere chance. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

James Mangold's 2003 psychological thriller Identity comes to DVD for the first time with this impressive release. The film is presented in both a 2.40:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original aspect ratio and a 1.33:1 full-screen transfers that has been formatted to fit a standard television screen. Along with English Dolby Digital 5.1 and French Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtracks, English and French subtitles are available. Additionally, the disc includes such bonus features as audio commentary by director Mangold, a "branched" version of the film that boasts an alternate ending and an added scene, deleted scenes with and without the director's commentary, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and the original theatrical trailer. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

I hate gore, This was so worth seeing!!! I still have bad dreams about the ending. Smart movie, with lots of twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. You will not be disappointed. You may have nightmares! But it will be worth it. One of the best most creative, horror movies, ever.
