SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
The
very definition of an edgy thriller, Taking Lives packs in thrills
galore as the pouty Angelina Jolie takes on a very creepy killer, very
good and very scary you are never quite sure which way the plot will
take you next. Taking Lives really does surprise you with it’s final
third and also makes great use of its French- Canadian backdrop. Keifer
Sutherland turns in a great cameo performance that has you gasping at
the director D.J. Caruso’s cheek, smoothly done though.
Whilst
it may not shake the boundaries of thrillerdom (there are probably one
too many self conscious references to David Fincher’s Se7en for that)
Taking Lives is entertaining and well worth a look, Jolie’s pretty hot
too.
