He would kill to be you.

Distributor: Warner Bros.

Cast: Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland, Olivier Martinez and Gena Rowlands

When Montreal detectives handling a local homicide investigation reluctantly ask for an outsider's help to get inside the head of a cunning serial killer, top FBI profiler Illeana Scott (Angelina Jolie) joins the case. With meticulous insight, she theorizes that the chameleon-like killer is "life-jacking": assuming the lives and identities of his victims. Her seemingly cold demeanor alienates her from the territorial local police force - she's at her best when she's working alone. But when an unexpected attraction sparks a complicated romantic entanglement, the consummate specialist begins to doubt her finely-honed instincts. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no one she can trust, Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted and terrifying journey, surrounded by suspects in a case that has become chillingly personal.
