The Bone Collector The best keepsake to take from your murder victim is cash, credit cards or their car. But for some reason the stalker in this crime-thriller collects worthless bone shards. Beat cop Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) pairs with a paralyzed forensic expert, Rhyme (Denzel Washington), to find a serial killer who extracts bone fragment from their victims as a souvenir. The duo concludes the perpetrator is a cabbie with a criminal record and a connection to Rhyme's work in forensics. Unfortunately, Donaghy, Rhyme and his caretaker (Queen Latifah) don't realize just how close the Bone Collector is. While the mystery isn't as earthshattering as hoped, this first and only installment in author Jeffery Deaver's Rhyme series does feature inexplicable chemistry between the unlikely leads. In fact, this intriguing subplot supports the film's formulaic construction. Incidentally, the best way to prevent future serial killers is to execute every nice, quiet guy next door.

A cop with a fully crippled body but a brilliant mind recruits a younger and talented female police officer in order to solve a very complicated case of a serial killer who intentionally leaves clues at his crime scenes. They must put together all the pieces of the puzzle in their attempt to stop the criminal mastermind before he makes his final move. It's a tense and thrilling crime movie featuring elaborate puzzles which can only be solved by a team working in full harmony, which isn't the case from the beginning, solving this issue proving to be the missing link in their investigation. It is enjoyable and somewhat unique regarding its crimes but I was a bit disappointed by its finale, the unveiling of the killer's motive and his apprehending leaved a lot to wish for. It's a very good movie overall with a pair of very good actors and an interesting story.

If you were to watch this film without reading the book you'd problem thing it was ok, but as I am a Lincoln Rymes fan I have read this book before I had seen it. It's terrible. The only thing that's the same as the book is Lincoln Rymes being paraysled every where but his neck up and one finger. And Amelia Donaghy is a police officer that helps him. The killer is a completely different person. The murder victims are all wrong. The aid is a woman and not a man. No where does it mention why Amelia was transferring or the fact the two leads start to develop feelings for each other. It's just awful. If you've read the book don't bother watching it.
