From the opening credits, it was nearly impossible to shake the feeling that Taking Lives was desperately trying to be the next Seven.

Willfully stupid and obvious for most of its running time, this serial-killer thriller lulls the audience into one gasp-worthy, rug-pulling moment that, while stupid, isn't exactly obvious. [Blu-ray]

Nosedive it does, abandoning all pretense of style and eccentricity for at-times laughable predictability.

A production which would rather scare its audience with gore than reel it in via a gripping whodunit.

While not breaking any new ground, director D.J. Caruso's movie also doesn't disappoint.

Jolie is far too good for this tripe but she does give the film its only believable moments, and for the first half, her concentration makes you watch her intently.

Caruso is a much more resourceful director than this material deserves, but I resented being two steps ahead of the genius profiler and the genius serial-killer.

Would have to work nights to reach mediocrity.

A couple of genuine thrills but not for kids.

The film's villain may take fictitious lives, but the film itself takes up real time that could be spent on better things.

If you can buy the pillow-lipped Angelina Jolie as a psychic FBI agent in Montreal to hunt a serial killer, then you can swallow the other implausibilities in this retread thriller.

Could very well be mistaken for an Ashley Judd programmer.
