Taking Lives 2004

Taking Lives is a 2004 American crime-thriller film written by Jon Bokenkamp, directed by D.J. Caruso; starring Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland, and Paul Dano. It is based on the 1999 novel of the same name written by Michael Pye.

An insidious serial killer is impersonating his victims' identities as he travels across Canada. A recent spate of murders in Montreal has brought FBI Agent Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) north to investigate. Scott's unusual methods quickly earn the suspicion of the local police but bring her close to art dealer James Costa (Ethan Hawke), who says he was an eyewitness to the latest murder. Sparks develop between the two as Costa's role becomes crucial in their effort to apprehend the killer.
