Ok, it is true that to keep an industry progressing you need to get rid of the old and replace it with the new… The only problem with that in the entertainment industry, is that a lot of times these A listers from the past still have the chops to really kick some ass in a way that some of the future A listers just honestly don’t have!
A great example of this is that there was a saying that I heard a few months ago that said that if Robert DeNiro was a fresh faced newbie to the world of acting that he would not have ended up being the legendary super star that he would go on to be!
Now that is the negative side of it, the plus side is the fact that some of these amazing A listers end up going the route of making some truly amazing B Horror and Science Fiction movies!
And you know what? That is just part of the reason why I found that I really enjoyed Identity (2003)!

| A classic! |
Identity, tells the story of how a group of people end up at a small rundown Motel on one dark and rainy night. They have all ended up coming here due to the fact that it was pouring rain outside and both sides of the road had been flooded out…
Now these people are from all walks of life…

| Ed (John Cusack), Ginny (Clea Duvall), Rhoades (Ray Liotta) & Larry (John Hawkes) as they investigate what the hell is going on at the Motel in the middle of nowhere! |
Hurriedly trying to get the family to some place safe so that the family would be looked after Ed ends up at the old rundown motel where they end up meeting, ‘Larry’ (Hawkes) a kind innskeeper that just seems to want to help.
Anyway after he get the York family settled in to their room, Ed takes off in hopes of finding help, but while he is on the road he ends up meeting, ‘Paris’, (Peet) a former call girl who had just ended that career to go home to Florida in an effort to become an orange farmer, but at this point her car had just ended up failing her and she gets a ride from Ed (who drives his car in to the flooded section of the road!)

Once they get there though and everyone gets settled in, a Federal Officer by the name of, ‘Rhoades’ (Liotta) who is transporting a criminal by the name of, ‘Robert Maine’ (Busey) to Carson City shows up…
Unfortunately though, once they get there, these guests start being killed off one by one, and as they all begin to suspect each other, the survivor will ultimately find out something more than they bargained for that will ultimately give new perspective on the whole traumatic situation!
