Taking Lives (2004)
1/10
Well . . . this movie is just dumb
13 March 2004
What could have been: a serious, scary meditation on the issue of identity, and what someone would do in order to change themselves in the eyes of society.

What this movie is: a callow piece of crap, with no innovation or style whatsoever. This is a retarded "Seven," if you get my drift.

This movie is bad.

Rather than focus on an interesting idea (i.e., a serial killer that takes the identity of others), this film chooses to be about Angelina Jolie looking sexy and thus looses any sort of appeal/suspense value that it might have. I was bored throughout the entire experience.

Ethan Hawke is either terrible or brilliant, depending on your point of view. I can't tell you why without giving something away. Please just stay away from this film for your own sake.
