I checked the 'contain's spoilers' but I'm not sure... I'm not gonna give anything away too much (if at all), I wouldn't want to spoil it.

I got this movie purely because I am an avid Angelina Jolie fan, and I must say she does not disappoint. It's a decent enough movie, and I don't think it was ever intended to be one of the Greatest, so I got it to watch for fun.

Angelina Jolie gives a decent performance, she's as gorgeous as ever and I thought she came across well. I was disappointed that the movie lacked Kiefer Sutherland, his name could have been left off of the front of the DVD cover, anyone renting/buying/borrowing this movie as a Kiefer fan would be disappointed. Although, the man gives a good performance in the few scenes he has. I never really thought much about Oliver Martinez before this movie, but I thought he was good. He and Jolie should have shared a bit more screen time, but never mind, it's good 'light' viewing.

It's got probably the best scare I've had in a while. By that I mean a bit that made me jump, just because I wasn't expecting it. I did not see that arm coming :P That's all I'll say.

Parts of the movie are predictable.. but I watched it with a friend, and she was guessing all the way through it, so it can't be that predictable for all viewers ha ha.

I'd advice any movie goers to always make their own decisions before dismissing or viewing a movie, as everyone has different tastes. 'Taking Lives' won't be a classic and it's not Jolie's finest hour... but it's not the worst movie I've seen this year by far!
