From
the
trailer
to
this
thriller
there
aren't
too
many
surprises
left,
except
maybe
the
very
final
punchline.
Jolie
is
a
cop
who
gets
deeply
involved
in
her
job.
When
she's
on
the
trail
of
a
man
who
has
been
killing
most
of
his
life,
and
taking
the
identities
of
those
he
murders,
she
falls
for
the
only
witness
who
can
identify
them.
With
the
two
hot
leads
of
Jolie
and
Hawke
(a
sex
scene
obviously
thrown
in
as
well),
the
filmmakers
attempt
to
juice
it
up
further
with
the
inclusion
of
Sutherland
-
not
a
very
satisfying,
nor
convincing
pay-off.
This
merely
feels
like
a
throwaway
bit
of
cop
&
killer
we've
seen
in
various
incarnations
over
the
decades.
The
highlight
of
the
film
is
the
fact
that
Philip
Glass
composed
the
soundtrack.
