Identity is a 2003 American mystery psychological thriller film directed by James Mangold from a screenplay written by Michael Cooney. The film stars John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Alfred Molina, Clea DuVall and Rebecca De Mornay.
While it is not a direct adaptation of the 1939 Agatha Christie whodunit novel And Then There Were None, which was adapted for feature film in 1945, 1965, 1974, 1987 and 1989, the plot draws from the structure the novel first popularized in which 10 strangers arrive at an isolated location which becomes temporarily cut off from the rest of the world, and are mysteriously killed off one by one. The first several scenes also use a reverse chronology structure.
A convict introduced as "Malcolm Rivers"—who was abandoned as a child at a motel by his prostitute mother—awaits execution for several vicious murders that took place at an apartment building. Malcolm's psychiatrist, Dr. Mallick, has discovered his journal that may explain why he committed the murders. With this late evidence brought forth, a new hearing takes place.
I see the light of day
Quickly fade into the background
Of what is now grey
It's a hope deferred a right from wrong
It's a melody of an unsung
A legacy that was bought in gold
A time and place where the people are told
There's no truth, there's no life
There's no love, there's no way
To Love You is to know You
I'm waiting, I'm holding on
How I need Your love
Yes I need Your love again
I'm waiting I'm holding on for the final day
When You will come again
Quickly stop the lies of the fleeting path
To undispute compromise
It's the future going to the past
Searching and longing for reality to last
It's one more day living in disgrace
We forget we will soon see His face
To know his truth, to know His life
Know His love to know his way
To Know You is to love You
You brought me to this point
Waiting for Your return
And I know Your comming back
To complete in me what I lack
I'm waiting for Your truth
I'm waiting for light
I'm waiting for You
You to make things right
