With the exact amount of female empowerment. You don't need much, no superwomen, nor big talkers. Just strong women acting out, when they're faced with really dangerous situations. I love both leads. They are both so different and of the same, at the same time. They even lose their « male compasses », at the same time. Male characters are nicely written too, some might think they are too stereotypical, but they would be wrong. And they complement the female duo's psychologies, perfectly. Even the bad guys did. Only now that we have shows like Criminal Minds, the storytelling and the way the psychopaths are portrayed, lost pertinence. That being said, you still get into the investigation, thanks to the flawless acting, the good script (I don't remember any plot holes, sorry) and one liners, that managed to mix horror, thriller and even, comedy. The movie may be a little « old » too, but I think it aged nicely. Even the technology and pop culture references, don't look and sound outdated. All in all, Copycat is a very good thriller, but not one you should watch before bed...
