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
