I Know Who Killed Me (2007) 8/10

Starring : Lindsay Lohan, Julia Ormond, Neal McDonough, Brian Geraghty
Director : Chris Siverston
Running Time : 107 mins

A new serial killer is on the loose, one who kidnaps young girls and then amputates their body parts for fun, leaving them dead. When Aubrey Fleming (Lohan), a young and gifted student, goes missing, her family and friends fear the worst, but then she turns up, alive but missing an arm and a leg, claiming to be a pole dancer called Dakota Moss who has some suspicions things in common with the missing student.

It's nice to see Lohan move away from her usual Disney shmaltz into a different kind of lead role, and this is an interesting place for her to get started. She portrays her two starkly different characters brilliantly, though the majority of her role is as Dakota, and the twists that explain the convenient mix-up may sound cliched but are quite effective, as is the humour surrounding Lohan's duel identities.
