I'm not often as totally surprised by the turn of events in a movie as I was by Identity.
Ten disparate strangers including an ex-cop turned limo driver (John Cusack), a hooker (Amanda Peet), and a corrections officer (Ray Liotta) come together in an isolated motel in the Nevada desrt, stranded by a torrential storm. It's not long before, one by one, they are being murdered and counted down using room keys. As the night passes, the travellers distrust of each other rises along with the body count.
A not unpredictable plot line which for a good portion of the movie could have been subtitled, "When Bad Thing Happen to Stupid People", one of those movies you watch once and never think about it again. Then, wait for it, comes the plot twist. I did not see this coming and suddenly the earlier events of the film are seen in an entirely different context.
Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. (More on IMDB)
