Ever wondered just how vulnerable your personal information truly is? The ease with which one's identity can be pilfered in the digital age is a chilling reality, brought to comedic, albeit controversial, life in the 2013 film, "Identity Thief." The film, while a work of fiction, touches upon a very real and pervasive crime that impacts countless lives every year.
At its core, "Identity Thief" is the story of Sandy Patterson (played by Jason Bateman), a mild-mannered accounts representative whose life is upended when his identity is stolen by Diana (Melissa McCarthy), a con artist living large in Florida. The narrative follows Sandy as he embarks on a cross-country journey from Denver to the Sunshine State to confront Diana and clear his name after being falsely accused of crimes he didn't commit. Directed by Seth Gordon and written by Craig Mazin, from a story by Mazin and Jerry Eeten, the film attempts to blend humor with the serious repercussions of identity theft, featuring a supporting cast that includes Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, Tip 'T.I.' Harris, Genesis Rodriguez, Morris Chestnut, John Cho, Robert Patrick, and Eric Stonestreet.
