Summary: Paraplegic homicide investigator Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) teams up with young cop Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) to search out the clues to discover who is behind a grimsome series of murders. The murder has a fascination with the early 20th century, and leaves clues behind taunting the police. Rhyme must lead Donaghy through the series of clues to discover who the killer is before he kills any more.

Review:

Tim: This was an excellent film. Denzel Washington does an excellent, excellent job throughout and Angelina Jolie is quite impressive herself. The film was much better than I expected. I'll admit I wasn't too keen on watching a film in which Denzel Washington couldn't move 90% of his body, but it didn't matter. My favorite aspect of the film is seeing Denzel Washington as a paraplegic kick the crap out of somebody. Only Denzel can do that!

Tim: This film is smartly written, and will keep you guessing until the very end. The storyline is simply incredible and the end is shocking. This is a very intense film, and it makes for quite an entertaining one as well. Washington is, of course, excellent as always. He really shows his acting ability when for the majority of the film he is lying in bed. All around, The Bone Collector is a chilling, suspenseful, and unforgettable ride. I recommend seeing this!
