Taking Lives (2004)
Plot summary
Directed by: D.J. Caruso
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Ethan Hawke, Angelina Jolie, Gena Rowlands, Tchéky Karyo, Olivier Martinez
Angelina Jolie stars as a creepy detective who has been called in by an old friend to help catch a serial killer. Ethen Hawke plays a main witness who ends up getting friendly with Angelina in a love scene that makes the movie a bit more worth watching. Although the true killer becomes blatantly obvious this above average thriller picks up speed fast and its excellent suspense manages to cover up the humungous gaps in the plot.

Martin Asher: That guy was nothing, all right? 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.
Trivia: Kiefer Sutherland only has 17 lines in the whole film.
Question: When Ethan Hawk takes a new life, does he have to shave his fingerprints/get plastic surgery/new teeth etc. because when he started he looked way different than the present day Ethan.
Answer: Yes, he must do this to truly feel like the different person he is trying to be. Also, so the police won't suspect anything if his traits don't match his identity.
