Product Description

Director's cut of this dark and moody thriller starring Angelina Jolie as FBI Special Agent Illeana Scott, a specialist in criminal profiling whose unconventional approach and offbeat methods belie her professionalism and reputation for accuracy. She is assigned to join a team of detectives in Montreal, Canada, who are investigating the case of a serial killer who assumes the lives and identities of his victims. But the team resent her abilities and cool demeanour, and as the case unfolds her increasing isolation leads her to find comfort and intimacy in a very dangerous place...

3.0 out of 5 starsA few plus points but nothing outstanding.
By The Truth TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 23 Aug. 2010
Format: DVD
Just finished watching this film and I'm unsure what mark to give it: 3 or 4 stars.

The film starts really well. Delivering a shock that makes you sit up and take watch right from the start. But that might have been an exception for me, as I had no idea about what type of film this was, or what it was about; because I was watching this back off the V+ harddrive. I'd recorded it over Christmas and have only just got around to watching it. Anyway, after the initial shock the credits start to role and I saw name after name pop up - Jolie, Sutherland, Hawke - excellent, I thought.

The film all in all is OK. Jolie - of course is stunning to look at and (at the risk of alienating female readers of my review) theres a small sex scene which should keep the averga fellow happy too. But other than this there's not much of note in this run-of-the-mill serial killer thriller.

The twist are fairly obvious, the story OK but still mediocre and the characters felt a little disjointed - namely the Canadian detective and another key figure, who shall remain namless for fear of spoiling things for you.

The film delivers a few good jumps, but in the end you're left with a few lose ends - nothing too serious - but they're there. In the end Taking lives was a good choice to record off the TV, had I watched it at the time, I'd have been quite chuffed as it's a good film to watch on TV; anythings better than the endless repeats and the films that seemed to get aired again, and again, and again. But I'm not sure it's really worth buying.

I haven't seen the extended version, or director's cut, or whatever it is advertised here - but overall I think I'll give this 3 stars. It came close to getting 4, but in the end - other than Angelina Jolie - it lacks that WOW! factor.

If this review was helpful to you at all please give it the thumbs up. Thanks :-)

3.0 out of 5 starsNot bad, but not that good either
By Brit Boy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 23 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD
By no means a great serial killer movie, the stylishly shot 'Taking Lives' (2004) starts off reasonably well with atmospheric scenes, and although I saw it through to the end, the quality drops, things began to become increasingly predictable and over-the-top, and although there's a twist at the end, I didn't care for the ending.

Set in Canada, an elusive serial killer is on the loose, a man who is ruthlessly murdering each victim, and then sets out assuming their identities. An FBI profiler (Angelina Jolie) is called in by French Canadian police to catch the villain, and a game of cat-and-mouse follows. It all sounded promising, and the potential was there, but I was left feeling a little disappointed.

'Taking Lives' is ultimately more forgettable than it is memorial, and unless you're a Angelina Jolie super fan, I don't think it deserves repeated viewings. Despite receiving star (third) billing, the great Kiefer Sutherland is reduced to nothing more than a cameo, appearing only towards the end of the movie as a creepy suspect. There are a few 'jumpy' moments throughout, but the film, though not terrible, has very little to write home about. If only it had stuck to the story, remained believable, and not tried to complicate things, it would have been a much better watch.

Special features on the disc include a documentary, footage which wasn't seen in UK cinemas, and a gag reel.

5.0 out of 5 starsGo For It
By Ms. Ceilidh Lipp on 12 May 2009
Format: DVD
This was a follow up to the movie The Bone Collector, only in the sense however that her character has developed from being a cop to detective mainly dealing with murders. The plot to this movie is she is asked to go to go Canada and help solve a number of murders that appear at first not to be connected.

From reading previous comments on amazon i was abit wary of how good this movie was going to be as people had not rated it highly. However i thought it was a great moive, with plenty of twists and turns that left you shocked at the out come. Maybe im just more into thrillers or maybe im easily pleased when it comes to movies.

I would definately recommend this.

3.0 out of 5 starsgood in parts ,bad in others
By sean paul mccann on 27 Jun. 2007
Format: DVD
taking lives is a 2004 film that bombed on its release,while its easy to see why in parts,in other parts its better than alot of films that gain mass success.

The film is about a man who is fed up with his own identity and steals that of others along the way and assumes their identity and their life,a FBI profiler played by angelie jolie is sent up to montreal to find out what she can when the local police start to find bodies with the help of a man who has seen the killer played by ethan hawke.

The film starts well and has the odd jumpy moment that is stylish and certainly this film borrows from the classic movie 'seven' at times,alot of dark settings and eerie moments follow,there is a solid middle to the film as well so all is rolling along nicely and a decent if not totally surprising twist as well,but then for the last 30 minutes or so the film starts to fall on its face alot with a very drawn out ending with cliche lines and all that jazz,plus i find it strange that keifer sutherland is third on the films credits when he is hardly in it,my theory is that he did his parts while in montreal on a lunch break from filming his show '24',well thats my theory anyway,all in all this is a decent movie,worth a watch but beware of a sloppy and tiring ending that takes away from the films strengths considerably.
