If you can buy the pillow-lipped Angelina Jolie as a psychic FBI agent in Montreal to hunt a serial killer, then you can swallow the other implausibilities in this retread thriller.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Overview
Recruited to assist Montreal police in their desperate search for a serial killer who assumes the identities of his victims, FBI profiler Illeana Scott knows it's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again.

Jolie is far too good for this tripe but she does give the film its only believable moments, and for the first half, her concentration makes you watch her intently.

Nosedive it does, abandoning all pretense of style and eccentricity for at-times laughable predictability.

Would have to work nights to reach mediocrity.

While not breaking any new ground, director D.J. Caruso's movie also doesn't disappoint.
