Last Seen Contemporary Movie

This looks like a short surveillance camera video rather than a contemporary film. I mean I do realize it is a contemporary film but I was thinking more along the lines of actual movies. With that said, I don't believe any of these supposed ghost videos.

A lot of effort went into the film. I didn't like by the middle of the film. It just seemed like it managed to be weird, and an effects exercise, but it didn't have a good time with the weird, like say Evil Dead 2 had fun. It seemed like it wanted to be profound, but I found nothing profound at all.

Taking Lives (2004)
5/10

An FBI agent (Angelina Jolie) in Canada helps local police find a serial killer who takes on the identity of those he kills.

The film seems an attempt to copy the film Se7en, right from the start with opening sequence being a collage of crime photos and serial killer segments with some Trent Reznor-ish music. And it goes on from there. However it's a poor copy.

The main problem is the main character, played by Jolie, plays with her cards too close to her chest, and despite the excellent efforts of Ethan Hawke, who plays the killer's next interest, the audience isn't able to bond with the shallow and cliche characters. The film also seems to have trouble grafting the mother of the killer into the film, a facet that tends confuse more than enlighten.

For fans of the thriller genre, it's competently made, and works a bit more as a mystery, as it lacks suspense and has no horror; but be ready for a quite ridiculous ending.
