Taking Lives
by D.J. Caruso, 2004
starring
Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland
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.

This was a crazy movie. Angelina Jolie played the part so well. Someone told me I HAD to see this movie and talked it up so much. it was good. towards the end when the guy comes after her and she is pregnant and he gets her in the house (I won't spoil it for those that haven't scene it)- was intense. I was freaking out! Then I saw what happened after. Great movie!

Is this the first movie Ethan Hawke was a villian? If so, he played a damn good one.
