---|---|---|---|
United States | Austin Chronicle | "Far and away the most original thriller to come out of a major studio in a long while" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "A slick, bloody thriller, but it's also, to its credit, a genuine whodunit" | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "The movie is polished, well-acted and atmospheric, but still pure formula, and not very scary, either" | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "What starts out as a seemingly-routine excursion into genre clichés emerges into a more complex and satisfying arena" | POS |
United States | AV Club | "Simultaneously a contrived piece of hokum and an absorbing, old-fashioned mystery" | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Fine escapist fare with a saving sense of humor" | POS |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "'Identity' opens with its mind nicely intact, suffers a major crisis about 30 minutes in, then bad turns to worse." | NEU |
United States | New York Daily News | "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." | POS |
United States | USA Today | "The film has potential, but eventually it devolves into merely a head-scratcher." | NEU |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "A rarity, a movie that seems to be on autopilot for the first two acts and then reveals that it was not" | POS |
