'Identity'
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY SAYS John Cusack, angsty romantic lead-slash-thinking woman's pinup, teams up with James Mangold, director of such chick flicks as 1995's 'Heavy,' 1999's 'Girl, Interrupted,' and 2001's 'Kate & Leopold.' The film isn't -- surprise! -- a romance, but rather a suspenseful neo-noir.
YOU SHOULD KNOW Director Mangold was inspired by such slow-burn suspense favorites as Agatha Christie's 'Ten Little Indians' and John Carpenter's 1982 remake of 'The Thing.'
THE STORY On a dark and stormy night, 10 seemingly unconnected strangers -- including a limo driver (Cusack), a Vegas call girl (Amanda Peet), and a corrections officer (Ray Liotta) -- find themselves drawn to a desolate desert motel, where they are slowly preyed upon, one by one.
THE LOWDOWN Judging by its dread-filled trailer, 'Identity' could be the sleeper that keeps audiences up at night.
