Editorial Review:

With superb investigative skills heightened by uncanny natural instincts, Iliana Scott (Angelina Jolie) is not a typical FBI profiler. This beautiful, no-nonsense Special Agent is a cut above the rest, which is why her old friend Captain Le Claire (Tcheky Karyo) calls her to assist his detectives in Montreal when a brutalized body is discovered in a construction site. A murder the next night provides proof of a serial killer, but this time, there is a witness. Artist James Costa (Ethan Hawke) not only saw the murder, but also tried to save the victim, and is even able to provide a sketch of the killer. The plot only thickens as ultra-dedicated Scott, along with ornery, territorial Detective Paquette (Olivier Martinez) and good-natured Detective Duval (Jean-Hugues Anglade), continue their investigation, linking together numerous similar murders over the years and arriving at a disturbing conclusion. To complicate matters even more, Scott is drawn to their charming key witness, Costa, and finds herself in uncomfortable territory as she fights her romantic impulses in an effort to remain professional. Director D.J. Caruso's (THE SALTON SEA) second feature also stars Keifer Sutherland and Gena Rowlands, and was filmed on location in Canada.

• The Bone Collector Part 2: This Time It's Competent
  It's a film of no great merit and is distinctly run of the mill generic genre stuff. It has a strong start, and plods along well enough until it's illogical ending.
  The film has one good shock in it that fans of Kevin Bacon in the first Friday the 13th might find familiar.
  Keifer Sutherland (third credited) appears in about three scenes totalling about three minutes of screen time.
  The movie has already started to evaporate from my memory as I write this the day after watching it. I did enjoy... more info

• GRIPPING THRILLER
  Great storyline. More twists than a carpet factory.
  The film is tense and you don't know who the bad guy is until the end of the film. Comparable to films like Seven or The Bone Collector.
  GREAT FILM TO WATCH

• Predictable with a twist
  Angelina Jolie plays Illeana, an FBI Special Agent who specialty is profiling. She is lent to a law enforcement agency in Canada that is on the trail of a serial killer. I was able to discern the killer almost right away. Which is why it is not 4 stars.
  The killing spree this person goes on covers a twenty-year period. Where he kills people in order to take over their identity. And when he feels it is time to move on, he needs a new identity...therefore another murder. Considering the way they portray... more info

• good in parts ,bad in others
  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. more info
