Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA scene was shot in which Illeana drives back to her house with the old pick-up and a branch from a tree falls and breaks the windshield. It took several takes to get the shot, and apparently destroyed the last remaining windshields for the pick-up available anywhere in North America at the time. The scene was not used.
- GoofsThe three lead police investigators all speak with Parisian French accents. Quebec French is as distinct from Parisian French as British English is distinct from North American English.
- Quotes
Martin Asher: That guy was nothing, alright? I didn't take his life, I lived it. I was the best thing that ever happened to that guy. You looked at him, and you saw me, and I looked at you, and I saw you, and we are the same.
- Alternate versionsAvailable in both its R-rated theatrical version (103 min.) and in an unrated director's cut (109 min.).
Featured review
Average but passable French-Canadian -American thriller with a great cast
This is an acceptable suspense movie full of intrigue , thrills , action , twists and turns . This film is made for Angelina Jolie , she is in each shot. She's beautiful, she plays rightly, she's wonderful .
Howewer , the other main character Ethan Hawke is regularly played , his performance is overdone and warped.
The support cast is featured by French actors : Oliver Martinez who's doing a American curriculum . Furthermore, Tcheky Karyo also has a broad career American ,generally in secondary roles.
Here is also Jean Hughes Anglade who only has French films , but giving a short acting , where he misinterprets a minor role.
Kiefer Sutherland, as always, plays a nasty ,wicked,and evil person. Will he be the killer? .
The picture is professionally directed by D.J. Caruso . He is a good craftsman whose films often have intense car crashes such as Disturbia (2007), and The Eagle eye (2008) and this Taking lives (2004) .
Rating : Acceptable, only for Jolie's fans.
