Pretty Good Kind of Movie, Jun 28 2004
Angelina's startum is becoming remarkable enticing. This movie is definitely one of the best movies of her career. Although her costaring role in Gone 60 seconds was her very best, even in Bone Collector she was better than ever. This is a must see if u like her actually leading a great role. Bone collector was definitely better but this movie ranks in 2nd place. PeaCE

5.0 out of 5 stars
intelligent thriller, Feb 1 2008
i thought his 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 called in to help develop a profiler on a prolific serial
killer who has been working for twenty years.he performance is very
subdued,almost sublime,and it works,in my opinion.the best serial
killer movie ever made,in my mind,is Copycat,at least so far.this one
isn't quite as intense,but it's still a great movie.Like the Bone
Collector,also starring Angelina Jolie(and Denzel Washington)i'd have
to rate taking Lives a 5/5

I'm a Fan But ..., Aug 29 2004
By A Customer
I'm a fan of Angelina and while this movie has some interesting aspects, it also has a cheesy quality - the sound is a bit weird and some of the plot development more than a bit contrived. Angelina is ok (coming from a fan) but actually Ethan is quite good in his role. The sex scene between the two stars is hot. Some of the violence is over the top and seems intended just to shock and it would appear that the 'unrated' tag is because of this violence.
