## Resource

Today Griffey and Dandino grapple with themselves...lots of themselves in Identity. They discuss how the film builds itself around the core twist of the film, the amazing cast bringing elevating performances, and the bizarre legal machinations of this one man show defense tactic. You can feel the steady hand of soon to be mega director James Mangold and his cast of veteran charcter actors even as the film often speeds towards oblivion. Synopsis: Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rain storm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one. Starring: John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, John Hawkes, Alfred Molina, Pruitt Taylor Vince Directed by James Mangold Youtube: https://youtu.be/AUKIy7HXdz0 Help us make our first feature length Messed Up Movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mr-creamjean-s-hidey-hole-horror-comedy-movie#/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
