Taking Lives-Unrated Directors Cut

This movie should be a warning to those who bought this DVD and haven't opened it yet to say 'Take this lame movie back to the store' because it is not the hyped thriller that was advertised.

There are twists and turns-sure, but not enough to keep viewers interested to the end.  I checked my watched twenty minutes in and have figured out the entire plot and ending by then.

Angelina Jolie plays a FBI profiler (who seems to know everything like that main guy on CSI TV show) and comes into Canada to add to the police detectives (one played by Olivier Martinez) and the fun begins.

We have nothing, but Predictability in this movie and with every recorded twist in other stories is in this movie.  Bad guy gets away by running into a crowd, the bad guy may not be a bad guy, the minor love scene (if you get the unrated version you see Angelina chest in full view) and no one ever forgets how the sexist police don't want to work with a woman.

This movie does contain many gross scenes and most of the times I wanted to throw soda mixed with pop rocks candies to just get the slow story moving along.

This movie is for those who like the stories about serial killers and the way they think or their methods of their crimes, the fun of French actors lines being hard to sometimes understand even whem they are speaking English, and reading captions when they speak French when they are speaking French.  And even then you should rent it only.

The gag real is mildly funny.
