Taking Lives (2004)
7/10
Welcome To Quebec

Warning: Spoilers
If this wasn't sponsored by the Quebec tourist authority, I don't know what is. The cast of local actors speak English in very muffled tones, there is lots of machismo on behalf of the cops, and halfway into the movie Keefer Sutherland comes in for a cameo. I had to blink and make sure I wasn't watching "24". Also, it took me a while to get whether this movie was supposed to be set in Montreal, or Paris.

This is not as bad as it could have been, but it is still severely limited. There are some good scares, but they are all derivative, or would that be "an homage", to Silence Of The Lambs and Nightmare On Elmstreet.

Am I the only one who didn't like the abuse gorgeous, sensitive little Anjelina Jolie was taking? Maybe it's just not my cup of tea.

I guess Anjelina Jolie and Ashley Judd are now going for the same kinds of movies.
