Mirrors (2008)

A former policeman accepts a job as a night watchman at a former mall destroyed by fire, where the mirrors reveal mysterious images.

'Mirrors' is a mysterious horror film from the wave of quality horror before the launch of the elevated-horror movement. Kiefer Sutherland takes on an uncharacteristic role and pulls it off successfully. The special effects are decent, even if seen today and the story has appeal.

Director:  Alexandre Aja   

With: Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Amy Smart, Jason Flemyng, Julian Glover

Rating: 7.6/10

Taking Lives (2004)

An FBI peofiler is assisting the Canadian police following some serial killings in which the perpetrator steals the victims' identities.

"Taking Lives" is a forensic investigation thriller with some melodramatic moments. It involves a dream cast, and yet the film cannot refrain from a few weak spots when it comes to logic and natural reactions. The idea is interesting though.

Director:  D.J. Caruso   

With: Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland, Olivier Martinez, Tchéky Karyo, Paul Dano, Gena Rowlands

Rating: 7/10
