Taking Lives (2004)
10/10
One of the best thrillers I've ever seen!
6 August 2006
I just recently saw this film for the first time, and was completely blown away! I thought from the title (never having read anything about it, or even seeing a preview) that it was going to be some demonic weird, psycho movie. So, I never watched it. But, I finally gave it a chance. Man, was I wrong! It was an amazing movie, and I would gladly see it again anytime, even in the near future.

Angelino Jolie was good in her role, but the real prize in the whole piece, was Ethan Hawke. He is without a doubt an amazing character actor, and good looking to boot! His role in the film, is perfect, and does an outstanding job convincing not only Jolie of his situations, but the audience as well.

The movie certainly keeps you guessing, which is what I like, but once you think you've cracked the code...you're totally wrong! The movie just keeps getting more and more deep in confusion. But, in a good way.

There is a lot of gore and blood, so if you have a sensitive stomach, this might not be the best film for you. But, if you can get past those parts, you're in for a real treat. The whole movie is just a big crime, and you get to try and solve the missing pieces.

It's excellent, and I don't use that term lightly.

Give it a try...it won't let you down!
