Taking Lives

people always wonder why i like angelina jolie. i’m kinda suprised myself too. she ain’t pretty, and she ain’t particularly good at acting, but i just find some kind of charm in her. i started to like her from <<bone collector>> where she played a police investigator solving a serial murder. brunette look with strong character suits her well, and it’s the same case here in <<taking lives>>. (same for <<tomb raider>> too. cool calm and emotionless. should have played the game.)

 

ethan hawke, though, is kinda ugly. at least he doesn’t look a teeny bit handsome to me. can’t blame me for “knowing” he’s the bad guy in this. oops, may have given out too much.

 

all in all, the ending may give you some surprise. but the movie overall is like any hollywood thriller, purposely scaring you a bit, with a bit of a surprise, and tonnes of questionable (牽強, or as i call it, “無間道”) events.
