Synopsis: Taking Lives (2004)
Synopis: When Montreal detectives handling a local homicide investigation reluctantly ask for an outsider’s help to get inside the head of a cunning serial killer, top FBI profiler Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) joins the case. With meticulous insight, she theorizes that the chameleon-like killer is "life-jacking" – assuming the lives and identities of his victims. Her seemingly cold demeanor alienates her from the territorial local police force - she’s at her best when she’s working alone. But when an unexpected attraction sparks a complicated romantic entanglement, the consummate specialist begins to doubt her finely-honed instincts. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no one she can trust, Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted and terrifying journey, surrounded by suspects in a case that has become chillingly personal.Features: Taking Lives (2004)

Cons: Long sex scene wasn't needed
Great movie Ethan Hawke was great, Angelina Jolie was phenomenal as usual. Olivier Martinez's character was dissapointing but he did wonderful as well. Great suspenseful story about a woman who wasn't perfect she was flawed and that brought out some of the originality. Great movie all around the perfect cast for this type of movie a somewhat dissapointing ending but a great twist. ...

Pros: Great acting, good direction, decent screenplay
Cons: gets a little too cute towards the end
This is a decent serial killer thriller, and fans of that genre should be impressed. It breaks down for me a little in the third act, but still delivers the goods. Recommended highly for fans of the genre. Others may be dissapointed. Excellent acting by A. Jolie, her best yet.
