I AM DZOI

Identity

The Husband and I saw this movie in DVD and we loved it! When I watch DVDs, I always make sure to read the synopsis at the back just to make sure what to expect. However, The Husband was in a hurry and Sandy was throwing tantrums so I wasn’t able to read anything. I watched the movie without knowing anything about it at all. And boy, I’m so glad that I didn’t read it. I was pleasantly surprised on how the events turned out in the middle of the film.

Here’s the synopsis of Identity

What if every choice we ever make was already made for us? What if there really were no coincidences in life and our destinies were already predetermined?

Ten strangers with secrets are brought together in a savage rainstorm: A limo driver (John Cusack), an ‘80s TV star (Rebecca DeMornay), a cop (Ray Liotta) who is transporting a killer (Jake Busey), a call girl (Amanda Peet), a pair of newlyweds (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) and a family in crisis (John C. McGinley, Leila Kenzle, Bret Loehr), all take shelter at a desolate motel run by a nervous night manager (John Hawkes). Relief in finding shelter is quickly replaced with fear as the ten travelers begin to die, one by one. They soon realize that, if they are to survive, they’ll have to uncover the secret that has brought them all together.

Sounds like your average thriller movie, right? However, I will leave you with a spoiler - everything in the movie is not what it seems. When the part came where John Cusack recited the poem, I felt all the hairs stood up in my arm. It’s the perfect twist and I know The Husband felt the same too. Watch it. It’s just the perfect bed weather movie.
