Taking Lives has a solid thriller premise with Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke, but this 2004 serial killer procedural is exactly the kind of forgettable, by-the-numbers whodunit that doesn't justify your time tonight—pass unless you're specifically craving early-2000s FBI profiler cheese.

Plot

Recruited to assist Montreal police in their desperate search for a serial killer who assumes the identities of his victims, FBI profiler Illeana Scott knows it's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. Her most promising lead is a museum employee who might be the killer's only eyewitness.
