Identity - Movie Review

In the show, ‘Identity,’ a sketch artist joins forces with a diligent police officer to solve the mystery of a heinous crime. In the framework of the narrative, those fragments of an eye-witness recall, they try to identify a face of a murderer, who washis escaping. On this basis, it is possible to establish an interesting combination of tension and action that makes the audience interested throughout the film. Into the plot, the viewers are immersed by the shades of unpredictability and increasing suspense. As it was mentioned, the role of memory is not insignificant and far from being an ornament that ornaments the plot; it actively interferes with characters’ search for the truth. The mood of the film is as forceful and steady as a kickboxing match combined with subtle and calm philosophical discourse. The fast pace of the show, as well as the ethical dilemmas that the characters have to face, bring out justice as the categorical imperative to the audience.

Tovino Thomas gives the show a powerful performance as the sketch artist whose talent forms the backbone of the investigation. He portrayed the character fully and it comes out as a very realistic character who is in some ways very likeable. Trisha Krishnan plays a cop role effectively, and she looks quite spirited and ambiguous as a police officer. It intensifies the interest of audience due to the real live interaction between the two principal actors. Other performers like to support Vinay Rai and Mandira Bedi are provided consistent contribution in the film ‘Identity.’

Shooting duo Anas Khan and Akhil Paul have made ‘Identity,’ as engrossing as it comes with a significant thematic resonance. The way they manage to combine several plotlines into one story seems clever and talented to me.|This may be just my personal opinion but their film score by Jakes Bejoy is a mix between terrifying and exciting. It effectively highlights the location all the film’s key scenes leaving the viewers with an atmosphere of tension and evoking some feelings even after the end credits. It should be noted that the film is bright and oppressive at the same time, which visual images are carefully composed to create suspense and make the viewer immerse themselves in the story. Lighting is one of the tools which is used greatly within the film to enhance the suspenseful aspect of it.

The cinematography of ‘Identity’ feels rather organic as it effectively utilizes the locations where the characters in the movies move. For example, the sets and locations help to convey much of the theme and tone – from the urban jungle environment of key locales to the close spaces associated with specific settings.

On the note of special effects the latter are used sparingly but effectively. They accentuates the main aspects of the film and limit themselves to enhancing particular scenes within the stories; they make the movie appear more realistic and thrilling.

The editing style that is used in the scenes is excellent and provides great momentum to the film. These transitions do not disrupt the flow of the scenes and help in maintaining a continuity that does not allow the audience to lose their interest while maintaining a good pace of the scenes between actions and personal reflections. Using the concept of slow build up of suspense the directors make the viewers sit on the edge of their seats and create an interesting movie watching experience.

The dialogue in ‘Identity’ is moving and necessary, and used most of the time to explain the actions of characters and theme common to the movie. The dialogue between characters is well-scripted and looks realistic, and though there are some tense moments threatening to bog everything down, it adds to the overall show.

Thus, even though ‘Identity’ provides a great cast and an interesting script, some of the twists must seem familiar to any keen viewer of the show’s genre. However, the way in which ‘Identity’ has been brought to life and its sincere tackling of emotion at least gives it enough newness to warrant a worthwhile view. The viewer contemplates the symbolism of memory and justice, but at the same time receives a unique movie experience. In terms of the cultural thesis, it is a great example of how a film that tells a story that evokes thoughts and emotions can do so in a memorable manner.
