ID:A (Foreign Film – Danish Thriller)
A woman wakes up on a riverbank clutching a duffel bag
containing millions of Euros.
Ordinarily waking up to such riches would be wonderful but this woman
doesn’t know where she is, where the money came from or who she is. She manages to get to a town and book a room where
she is able to figure out she is in France, she was recently injured and
stitched up by a professional and while she speaks French she isn’t a native
speaker. So begins her journey to
discover herself and her past.
The main character’s name is Ida but the title of the film is an
abbreviation for Identity: Anonymous. Every
time you think you know the whole story something else happens and the plot
does a complete 180 about halfway through the film. Reviews compared it to a Hitchcock thriller
and I agree. I’m sitting here typing and
wanting to say things that I simply can’t without giving one of the twists
away. Intrigue, violence and revenge
come together to make a dark thriller that ends with justice, at least in my
mind, being served.
