Identity Malayalam Movie
A sketch artist and a cop work together to unravel the identity of an elusive killer using the descriptions of his face, etched into the memory of an eye-witness to the brutal crime.
Identity has garnered a mixed critical reception, with reviews highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. The film, directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, is praised for its engaging narrative filled with numerous twists and turns. The action thriller, starring Tovino Thomas and Trisha Krishnan, is noted for its gripping first half and stylized execution. However, multiple critics point out that the plot becomes overly convoluted, with an emphasis on keeping the audience guessing at the expense of coherence. While some appreciated its technical brilliance and high-stakes storytelling, others felt that the film relied too much on convenience and lacked the depth needed to make a lasting impact.
Verdict:
Identity is an ambitious action thriller that delivers excitement but struggles with its complexity. While its stylish presentation and intense moments keep viewers engaged, its overstuffed narrative and uneven second half hold it back from being a truly remarkable film.
