Reviews for Identity
'Uno de los mejores thrillers realizados en los últimos diez años, por lo que sería un verdadero crimen perdérselo.'

Mangold needs to feel he's wowing us instead of just entertaining us; amid the confusion, the really scary moments pass you by.

The characters are mostly slices of a whodunit pie, and once the real revelation that spins the story around happens, there isn't much reason to care about them anymore.

One of the most engaging experiences you will have at the movies, it is a taut and intelligent hybrid of a thriller that has as many effective ideas as a mind has brain cells.

Algunas risas e insultos que se escucharon en la sala no me dejan mentir: Identidad es, llanamente, una decepción. Te promete que tu estadía en el motel va a ser cinco estrellas, y al final ni siquiera había motel.

Highly compelling, until the story's major revelation makes you feel totally cheated.

Agatha Christie certamente ficaria orgulhosa deste seu 'filhote'.

Here is a movie that's so good – so juicy in the dark secrets it keeps – that all I really want to say is to see it right now knowing as little about it as possible.

Top CriticIdentity benefits from a delicious duper of an advertising campaign, taking much-warranted pleasure in the audience's gullibility

With its airtight structure, tension and impressive performances, Identity is not only the most intelligent thriller of the year so far, it’s also the best.

. . .director James Mangold proves that not only can he deftly cross genres, but can also offer up a pleasing and well-crafted thriller.

A lame-brained nut job in search of an identity of its own.
