Taking Lives nicks characters from other flicks without any shame.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 18, 2019

Taking Lives is a foolish thriller full of actors who deserve better.

From the opening credits, it was nearly impossible to shake the feeling that Taking Lives was desperately trying to be the next Seven.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2016

A couple of genuine thrills but not for kids.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Willfully stupid and obvious for most of its running time, this serial-killer thriller lulls the audience into one gasp-worthy, rug-pulling moment that, while stupid, isn't exactly obvious. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 20, 2009

Could very well be mistaken for an Ashley Judd programmer.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 29, 2008

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

A production which would rather scare its audience with gore than reel it in via a gripping whodunit.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2007

The film's villain may take fictitious lives, but the film itself takes up real time that could be spent on better things.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 2, 2005

poor excuse for audience to waste time on a thriller whose makers have problems with understanding the meaning of the word "thrill".

Amir Mokri's purposely frantic (ie: jerky) camera work during action scenes irritates, but still 'Taking Lives' is a marginally diverting thriller.

When, at length, the promised climax does arrive, it will leave you gasping in astonishment, provided that you have never been to the movies before.

It both startles and sedates.
