The film "Deadly ID" tells the story of a person's spiritual struggle from the perspective of psychoanalysis and psychology.

A man named Malcolm suffered from severe mental trauma as a child, which split his mind, resulting in multiple personalities, making him "multiple personality syndrome". The psychiatrist uses drug treatment to force all his personalities to collide with each other, resulting in violence. With the violence, the number of personalities will decrease, and the one who committed the murder controls his current body. So the psychiatrist made his personalities fight against each other again, and the one who committed the murder had to fight and die so that Malcolm could be cleared of his crime.

Malcolm's personality is split into ten people, a family, a couple, and a 7- or 8-year-old son; an actress and her bodyguard; a policeman; a man who pretends to be a hotel manager; a young couple who just got married ; a prostitute who wants to go back to the farm to manage the orange grove. These ten people were trapped in a stormy station hotel. They can only stay in hotels and get their house numbers from 1 to 10.

The appearances of these people are all arranged by means of montage. The film begins with a psychiatrist looking up information about Malcolm's murder, and then switches to a hearing after two lawyers talk on the phone. Then the camera flashes to a stormy hotel and a man, and just as he is watching TV, the hotel door is opened to reveal a husband and his severely injured wife; then from his anxious face Back when they were driving on the road, they heard the announcement of the typhoon on the radio, and the tire was punctured by a high-heeled shoe; then it was narrated that the high-heeled shoe was accidentally left on the road by a prostitute; when the husband was repairing the car , The wife was hit by an RV because she said hello to her son and stood out of the road center; the camera entered the situation in the car again, an actress was talking on the phone, the battery was dead, and the driver asked the driver to help her find it. Just at this moment, the car stopped hit someone. In this side-by-side chain of interlocking supplementary appearances, the film's producers used a montage technique to make the appearances of these people seem very natural and thoughtful - this gathering and struggle of personalities is the unavoidable. But in our life, there will be many accidental things, in fact, there is inevitability.

    This film is packed with a lot of details, but the main line of the story is too thin. It only relies on a combination of multiple personalities to support the hotel murder. It is messy and pretending to be mysterious. There is no story at the beginning. In the secret room and house numbers and other old-fashioned jokes, and then forcibly stuffing multiple personalities into it and saving a book, it is simply challenging the audience's bottom line, and there are still people who give five stars?

    It is an old multiple personality movie. There have been more and more such movies in recent years, and there have been many copycats in China, so I guessed seven points when I saw the fugitives in yellow clothes running out but returning to the starting point. Once it is set as a mental illness, the logic does not have to be demanding, and there is no interest in scrutinizing it. Well, the ending is still pretty good.
