Taking Lives (2004)
This is an instantly-forgettable police procedural with the fragrant Angelina Jolie playing an FBI crime profiler called in by the Montreal police (an excuse to employ several French actors all of whom are wasted) to help them find a serial killer who takes on the identities of the men he kills. There are also parts for Kiefer Sutherland and Gena Rowlands (both also wasted) and Ethan Hawke -- who is I think miscast. The denouement comes as no big surprise. The whole can of worms holds one's attention if one is willing to forgive the insults to one's intelligence.
