Identity

MysteryThriller90 min

A rain-lashed night at a remote Nevada motel traps ten strangers together just as someone starts killing them one by one. John Cusack is among the stranded travelers, with Ray Liotta and Amanda Peet in a tense mix of motorists, prisoners, and drifters who begin to suspect each other as the group thins out. The setup borrows from an Agatha Christie-style whodunit, but swaps the country house for flickering motel rooms, flooded roads, and a storm that cuts everyone off from the outside world. As the deaths mount, every arrival, accusation, and coincidence starts to look like part of the same puzzle.
