Your name... credit cards... life. It's the ultimate identity theft. An elusive serial killer has for 20 years assumed his victims' identities. But now there's a breakthrough. and FBI profiler Illeana Scott is assigned to the case.
    Angelina Jolie portrays Scott in an edgy cat-and-mouse thriller directed by D.J. Caruso and also starring Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland and Olivier Martinez. It's Scott job to know what makes a killer tick. To anticipate his moves. To close off countermoves. But somehow this killer knows even more about Scott. "You'll be guessing all the way till the end, and you'll still be wrong," Greg Russell of WDWB -TV/Detroit says. It's that unpredictability which makes Taking Lives so very, very right for thriller fans.

Average Hollywood Guys Rating: D -

• This movie is based on the book by Michael Pye.
• At the end of the movie a scene in which the old truck that Angelina Jolie drives gets hit by a tree branch smashing the windsheild. The scene was shot many times and used up every last windsheild for that model of truck in North America. The scene ended up being cut.
