Nice thriller based on an "oldie and rookie" storyline. They have a rough start, but as they work on solving the cases together they build trust and appreciation. Denzel is the typical himself, Angelina is doing a great job at hiding her good looks behind a charismatic character. Too bad there was no sequel with this duo! Because the ending did seem to leave this unfulfilled promise...

Denzel Washington have this thing, maybe he wants to raise his own morale, I dont know, but all his roles are like that, a 'regular joe' who struggled very hard in life and now it's smart and excelent at whatever he does! That's kind good in one movie, maybe two, but in a lot of them? No, thanks. It's just like Mel Gibson in 90's movies. The same story in different movies, places and periods. Just take The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 for example, and you'll get my point. Angelina Jolie, for me, means nothing. She's not good nor bad, and I don't think she's pretty or hot like many think she is, so, whatever actress would do better in her place. The story is not that bad, but, today it doesn't work for me anymore like it used to when it was released, maybe I've seen too many movies like that, maybe I'm just growing old and getting boring, can't say. What I can say is: Just a regular Joe swimming in the Hollywood sea.

I figured out who the killer was halfway through the movie. It's always the one that comes for 1 or 2 scenes, who doesn't have a backstory explained.

Probably my least favorite Denzel move. Nevertheless, both him and Angelina Jolie deliver a better than average performance in an interesting crime thriller. Nothing else to praise here.

**A sinister killer and ominous tone cement The Bone Collector as one of the best crime thrillers of the 90s.**

The Bone Collector is one of the best thriller mystery movies out there! This eerie game of cat and mouse captivates its audience with its fast and foreboding pace and incredible perfor More

Denzel Washington really didn't have to get out of bed for his performance here as "Lincoln"; a now-quadriplegic forensics expert who is prone to dangerous seizures. Not wishing to risk surviving one of these in a vegetative state, he has elected for euthanasia. Before he can implement his plan, tho More

Denzel Washington, he used to be all that didn't he?

He single-handedly saved "Malcolm X" from being another Spike Lee disaster flick

He played the ultimate and most loathable villain the world has ever seen in "Training Day" and in the process delivered one of the best performances we have ev More
