Summary

An FBI profiler is called to Montreal to help local detectives hunt a serial killer who assumes the identities of his victims, taking over their lives. As the investigation closes in, a rattled witness who glimpsed the killer becomes both the case's best lead and its most vulnerable target.

Taking Lives is a 2004 crime, mystery and thriller film.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2,223 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 268 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 270 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
