They are: ex-cop now limo driver Ed, and his client Caroline, a diva of a once famous actress; quiet adolescent Timmy, his stepfather George, and his mother Alice, who was seriously injured when Ed accidentally ran over her as she watched George change their flat tire; prostitute Paris, who was the unwitting cause of George's flat tire; newlyweds Lou and Ginny, whose marriage is based on a lie; and Police Officer Rhodes, who was en route escorting prisoner Robert to his new ...

Trivia

There was some location shooting in Lancaster and other places in Los Angeles County, but the majority of the movie was shot on an enormous sound stage at Sony Studios in Culver City (the same studio that once housed the set for the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz (1939)). See more »

Goofs

At around 1h16min when the driver transporting two prisoners is stabbed by one of them from the back of his seat, he is clearly shown as having been hit badly enough to irremediably lose control of the car, but we end up seeing him steering the car to a stop. See more »

Quotes

Paris: His story's so unbelievable, I think it just might be true.

Crazy Credits

Alternate Versions

The DVD contains an extended version with an additional scene at the courthouse. This occurs right after Lou, Ginny and Paris go to their rooms for the first time. It shows Dr. Malick arriving and Detective Varole getting upset that the prisoner transport is out of contact. It also has a slightly altered ending that intercuts the killer with the real Malcolm Rivers committing the murders. See more »

All downhill after "big" surprise...
27 April 2003 | by beachhead138 – See all my reviews

Identity starts out exciting and the suspense keeps building through out the picture. After the big surprise twist is unleashed the movie loses all of its impact. However, most of the cast does a great job and the movie did keep me on the edge of my seat for the first three quarters of the film. See for yourself.
