Amazon.com:
While it doesn't rank with such grim classics as The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, D.J. Caruso's Taking Lives offers similarly heavy atmosphere, beginning well before fizzling into absurdity. Freely adapted from the novel by Michael Pye, and set in Montreal (although it was filmed in Quebec City), the plot trades in several familiar tropes of the serial-killer genre, beginning with the FBI agent (Angelina Jolie) who brings her unique skills (and brooding, low-key demeanor) to the vexing case of a killer who, out of apparent self-loathing, steals the identities of his victims and lives their lives until it's time for the next gruesome murder. Ethan Hawke plays the killer's alleged next victim, and in a film filled with twists that grow increasingly unconvincing, Keifer Sutherland is menacingly cast as a shifty suspect. Caruso's previous film was the creepy drug thriller The Salton Sea, so he's well-qualified to infuse Taking Lives with a darkly stylish sense of dread and at least one good shock to keep your adrenaline flowing. The second half essentially betrays the promise of the first, but there's enough going on to hold your interest to the end. --Jeff Shannon

"Taking Lives" had a lot of potential. You've got an interesting story. FBI Profiler, Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) is a stranger in a strange land, Montreal Canada. She's been sent there to help track down a serial killer who assumes the lives of the people he's killed and thus becomes pretty untraceable. In the process, she falls for the only witness Art Dealer Costa (Ethan Hawke) who was the only witness to the first crime.
The film offers some serious action and interesting ... Read More

I have no idea why this movie was on my Netflix list, but after watching all those Ashley Judd movies I figure Angelina Jolie deserves at least as much of a chance.
Taking Lives is the usual FBI agent stalks the serial killer plot. Pretty/creepy FBI agent, Illeana (Angelina Jolie) is a drop-dead hottie who wears a wedding ring to avoid men asking her out, turns down everyone who asks her out, and likes to sleep in graves to literally walk in the footsteps of her victims. You see, Illeana ... Read More

A man is struck on a highway. Another man takes his wallet and hits his face with a rock. We see newspaper reports of other dead men. Is there a connection between them? (Is the height of 5'10" average?) Then a woman goes to the police, she has seen her dangerous son. The Montreal police have sent for an expert; she gives her opinions about the killer (profiling). Then there is a fresh killing with a witness. The police question the witness about the murder. [Is there corroboration?] A tip brings them to ... Read More

i thought this was a very intelligent,well written thriller.the music
puts you on edge from the beginning.the movie has a great dark
atmosphere.there are enough red herrings to keep you guessing,and some
great intensity.this is a very dark,disturbing movie and is also very
graphic at times.to me,this was much better than your standard crime
drama/mystery/thriller.i liked Angelina Jolie's performance as an FBI
profiler .her performance is very subdued,almost sublime,and it ... Read More

There's an old expression that claims, "In Hell, the chefs are English, the engineers are Italian, and the comedians are Swiss." Perhaps it's time to add, "Film murder mysteries are Canadian." Test this theory out sometime. The next time you're watching an alleged thriller and find yourself checking to see if Reno 911 is on, look carefully for telltale signs of Canadian-ism. Casual flipping back and forth between French and English? An uncomfortably high number of ice hockey references? Back bacon omnipresent? ... Read More
