Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By Lori Hoffman (553) for Atlantic City Weekly (553) on 19 Mar 2004

Jolie's Scott is just not tough enough to overcome her incredible beauty and make us believe she can get down and dirty when it counts…

Unfortunately, Taking Lives doesn't add any brilliance to the exhausted spot-the-serial-killer psychological thriller, but get props for a…

By Cherryl Dawson And Leigh Ann Palone (956) for TheMovieChicks.com (956) on 19 Mar 2004

It isn't as bad as it could be or as good as it should be - I would wait to see this on video…

Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 19 Mar 2004

Even though Taking Lives is not very good, it does contain a) a cool car chase and b) a sex scene in which Jolie goes topless…

Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 19 Mar 2004

[W]e're meant to believe that [Hawke] is so intensely seductive that [Jolie] cannot resist him. Which would be laughable if it weren't so boring…

Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 19 Mar 2004

Nosedive it does, abandoning all pretense of style and eccentricity for at-times laughable predictability and a parade of unconvincing red…

Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By William Arnold (1,101) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 18 Mar 2004

By the time we get to the unsurprising surprise ending, what seemed innovative and challenging in Taking Lives has lost its juice and reverted…

Review of Taking Lives (2004)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 18 Mar 2004

By Mike Clark (1,024) for USA Today (4,117) on 18 Mar 2004

The trouble with indulging Taking Lives is that it's taking your time…

By Bridget Byrne (40) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 18 Mar 2004

Review of Taking Lives (2004)
