Thriller about an FBI agent Illena (Angelina Jolie) in France, tracking a serial killer who "takes lives"--he kills people and assumes their identities. They think art dealer Costa (Ethan Hawke) may be next. Illena along with French police men (including a brooding Oliver Martinez) try to protect him.
OK movie--nothing great but nothing terrible. It throws in the obligatory foot chase and car chase and a few nice twists and turns that I didn't see coming. The story has a few good "jump" scenes in it and an incredibly silly sex scene between two characters. It gets a little too violent for me at the end--but there WAS a reason for it.
Jolie is very good considering she has nothing to work with. Hawke is incredible--and I don't mean in a good way. He's overacting a LOT!!!! You just stare in amazement! It's impossible to figure out WHAT he's playing at. Martinez acts sullen most of the movie--but he's incredibly handsome with that cute French accent. Kiefer Sutherland and Gena Rowlands are both wasted in small roles--Sutherland is great, Rowlands isn't.
All in all, a good thriller--worth wasting a couple of hours on a cold, wet afternoon.
