Title: Identity Thief
Genre: Comedy, Crime
Year: 2013
Summary: Sandy Patterson gets a call
from a woman saying someone attempted to steal his identity. She tells him about
an identity protection service and asks him for his name, date of birth, and
social security number. Little does he know that his identity is actually about
to be stolen.
We meet Diana,
printing out credit cards with Sandy's money and going out to a bar, buying
drinks for everybody.
At work, Sandy gets
called in by his boss, Harold Cornish, and he asks him to make cuts on
bonuses, despite the fact that he is getting a bonus himself. As Sandy goes to
do so, he gets a call saying he has an appointment at a salon on Friday in
Florida. He's confused, but he gets called over by his co-worker Daniel Casey. In the parking lot, he
and a few other co-workers meet to discuss starting their own firm since their
boss is not the greatest person. Daniel asks Sandy if he'll join them, to which
he agrees.
A little while later, Sandy tries to get gas, but his card is declined for
insufficient funds and the gas station clerk cuts it up. He calls the credit
card company and he's told he's spent a lot of money in Florida. As this
happens, he gets arrested. At the same time in Florida, Diana continues
splurging with Sandy's money.
At a police station,
Detective Reilly tells Sandy that he missed a court date in Florida for assault.
They pull up a mug shot of Diana and determine she's stolen Sandy's identity. It
gets worse at work when Daniel (now his boss) says cops are asking about him
possessing drugs. Reilly and other cops show up and say a card with Sandy's name
was used to buy drugs from a man named Paolo. When told they can't do anything
unless the identity thief was standing there in Denver with them, Sandy (knowing
where he can find her) offers to go on his own and bring her there and get her
to talk to Daniel to clear his name and that he won't press charges.
Trish, Sandy's wife,
finds out about the situation and knows Sandy's taking a risk, but he assures
her he'll get the job done. He ends up in Florida and finds Diana at the salon
where she made an appointment and follows her. After confronting her on the road
she manages to steal his rental car. He obtains her address through registration
in her abandoned car and goes to Diana's house, which is full of merchandise and
other stolen credit cards. The pair scuffle and Sandy attempts to handcuff her.
Before he can cuff her, two people named Marisol and Julian are pounding at the door, telling Diana
she gave Paolo some bad credit cards. They shoot the door open, but Sandy and
Diana escape.
Sandy tells Diana about
his plan to redeem his name and Diana agrees to go along with him. Meanwhile a
bounty hunter known as Skiptracer is dispatched to track down
Diana to obtain a substantial bounty. On the road, Diana reminds Sandy that the
people at the airport would have an issue with both of their ID's reading "Sandy
Bigelow Patterson", so flying back is out of the question and they must return
to Denver by driving.
After traveling through several states, Skiptracer catches up to the pair and
captures Diana. A chase ensues and she knocks him unconscious, and Sandy rams
his van off the road. When he gets out to check on Diana, a truck plows into his
rental car, totaling it. They take Skiptracer's van with him tied to the back,
but it overheats on the road. They end up walking and almost stop to rest in the
woods, but they encounter several snakes, one of which ends up in Sandy's pants,
which he takes off and throws away. Another snake bites Sandy's neck and Diana
accidentally knocks him unconscious while trying to beat the snake.
Sandy wakes up at a bus station in new pants with no money and no phone. He
asks how they got there, and Diana says she carried him half a mile until she
flagged down a truck to take them there. Unfortunately, the next bus to Denver
doesn't come for another three days. Sandy finds some money in his socks and is
told by a guy who works at the station about a place to find a cheap car. When
they stop for gas and realize they need more money, Diana asks if there's anyone
Sandy would like to get back at, and he thinks of one person – Harold
Cornish.
Knowing that there is someone who handles his finances, the two of them sneak
into an accounting firm and coax an accounts processor into giving them access
into restricted files, and they steal Cornish's identity to create new credit
cards. The accounts processor realizes this too late as they are fleeing.
Meanwhile, Skiptracer goes to the bus station and threatens the employee
unless he tells him where to find Diana. He then gets shot by Marisol who, along
with Julian has been tracking the pair throughout their journey. Having
overheard Skiptracer's conversation they continue to pursue Sandy and Diane.
Sandy and Diana finally arrive in St. Louis and stop at a hotel and Diana
spends more money than necessary. She gets a makeover and has dinner with Sandy.
Things get heated when he asks Diana what her real name is, but she admits she
doesn't know it. She cries as she tells him that nobody cared about her when she
grew up, so she doesn't even have her own identity. She then says she lied about
that just as the accounts processor comes in with cops, who arrest both Sandy
and Diana. As they're being escorted, they run into Marisol and Julian. Marisol
calls Paolo, who tells her to follow Diana and kill her. That's when Skiptracer
arrives and shoots the two thugs in the legs and throws them in the trunk of
their car.
Diana manages to uncuff herself as she's in the back of the police car, and
then breaks the back windshield and escapes, just as Skiptracer hits the police
car. Sandy gets out as well and Skiptracer nearly hits him, but Diana pushes him
out of the way and gets rammed by the car, which causes Skiptracer to swerve
off. As Sandy and Diana run away, Skiptracer is arrested along with Marisol and
Julian.
Diana is not injured from being hit by a car, and she and Sandy eventually
make it home, where they are greeted by Trish and their daughters. Diana has
dinner with Sandy's family and reconciles with them.
The next morning, Sandy is prepared to tell Diana that he'll go in alone to
the station, but she's gone. She left a note saying sorry. He goes into work,
preparing to quit, but Daniel shows him that Diana is meeting with the police in
an office. Detective Reilly tells Sandy he is no longer part of the
investigation and Diana is taken away in cuffs. Before she leaves, Sandy has a
moment with her and asks her why, and she says she knew he wouldn't turn her in,
but it was the right thing to do for her to do it herself.
One year later, Sandy is celebrating another birthday, this time with his
third kid joining them. The family goes to visit Diana in prison, where she's
doing well taking some exams. As Trish takes the girls outside, Sandy presents
Diana with a birth certificate of hers that he was able to find and it's
revealed that Diana's true name is Dawn Budgie, which she thinks is a terrible
name. They laugh. Dawn then hugs Sandy and starts walking. A guard taunts her,
Diana reacts and hits her in the throat. Another guard on the pulls out a taser
from her pocket, and tases Diana in the back. Diana falls, but recovers seconds
later. She then gets up and walks back to go to her cell.
