Identity (2003)

Disasters are supposed to bring out the best in people, but in the suspenseful thriller Identity (2003), severe weather causes strangers to clash. A torrential downpour causes drivers to flee the road and into the dry confines of a highway motel, where they huddle for warmth and prepare to wait out the storm. Little do they know, however, that one member of the group is a death-row inmate who’s managed to escape en route to prison. Before long the motley crew of honeymooners, family men, and prostitutes must reckon with the monster in their midst. Amanda Peet plays a hooker with a heart of gold who steps up to save the day even as she dresses down for one of her johns.
