DVD Synopsis

A female detective on the trail of a psychotic killer discovers love in a dangerous time in this thriller, based on the novel by Michael Pye. Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) is a special agent with the FBI who has a reputation for using offbeat methods, but also boasts a strong record as a criminal profiler. Scott is called in by a former Quantico colleague (Tchéky Karyo) to assist two Canadian police detectives, Paquette (Olivier Martinez) and Duval (Jean-Hugues Anglade), who are on the trail of a serial killer who has been doing business in and around Montreal for close to two decades. The murderer has a history of assimilating many aspects of the lives of his victims after he kills them, but there's been a witness to his most recent crime. Art gallery owner James Costa (Ethan Hawke) saw the killer during an assault, and now finds himself working as an only marginally willing decoy for Scott. As Scott and Costa follow the killer's trail, they find themselves becoming attracted to one another, which is not necessarily a comfort to Scott as she finds her quarry moving closer and closer. Taking Lives also stars Kiefer Sutherland and Gena Rowlands. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

D.J. Caruso's thriller Taking Lives arrives on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include four making-of featurettes, the theatrical trailer, and a blooper reel. This disc presents the same cut of the film seen in theaters. Those looking for something more can seek out an unrated edition which is available on a different disc. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

I love a mystery, which is the lead-in for many a conversation, but more than anything, I like it when a book or a movie keeps me guessing what will happen next. This is a good story, well-told, that you have to see all the way to the end. Angelina Jolie is so perfect here,and Ethan Hawke terrifying! A must-see for people who want to watch a truly scary movie with a knock-out ending. Very satisfying mystery, if you are up to it!
