Although you have to appreciate Angelina Jolie's character in this movie, Ethan Hawke stole the show. Keifer's performance was not very good, and the other supporting actors played mediocre roles, but I blame that on the Director. Ethan Hawke plays a... Full review

That's why they're called "critics". I didn't read "the book" so the differences between that and the screenplay didn't really matter to me. I saw it last week at the "sneak" and enjoyed it. With the exception of a few slow... Full review

The script from Michael Pye's novel, focuses on the characters and their relationships, and some of the film's greatest pleasures come from their diversity.
The conclusion may be a little over the top (the sceptics may see it coming), but it never spoils what is a thoroughly enjoyable genre film.

But director D.J. Caruso and a strong cast make the best of the potboiler material, creating a nicely creepy atmosphere and knowing when to surprise the audience with a shock -- or a laugh -- to release the tension.
Characters drink, smoke, and use strong language.

it's certainly no better than mediocre.....That's the simple premise behind 'Taking Lives', a dark thriller that promises much but delivers little.....It's far from the worst thriller I've ever seen....A 'Crime Lab' documentary, a trailer and, bizarrely, a "gag reel" showing cast bloopers accompanied by some ridiculously jolly music..... ...

May be too many red herrings but Taking Lives good, why even great, while it lasts.
Based on a novel by Michael Pye, Taking Lives is endowed with an intricate plot with suspicion sprinkled about like mustard thanks to a strong screenplay by Jon Bokenkamp.
