synopsis
Lincoln Rhyme, a New York City detective specializing in forensics, was once the country's leading criminologist. Following a near-fatal injury in the line of duty, Rhyme is left bed-bound, his arms and legs useless, and with little will to live. Feisty, street-smart policewoman Amelia Donaghy is only in her early twenties but already feels aged beyond her years. On the eve of being transferred to a desk job, her last call as a street cop leads her to a crime scene and the discovery of a gruesomely-mutilated corpse. After taking a look at the physical evidence file and the photos therein, Rhyme is intrigued with the case. On the first day of her new job, Rhyme has Amelia pulled against her wishes and reassigned to assist him on the case. An unlikely pairing at first, Donaghy must become Rhyme's eyes, ears and legs, scouring horrific crime scenes for evidence as they race against the clock to prevent the next hideous act of this brutal killer.

So if audiences, especially women, are willing to suspend disbelief for Ashley Judd in her allegedly legal quest to kill her creep husband, why not cheer Angelina Jolie as Amelia Donaghy, a street cop who outsmarts the guys on the beat, not to mention a serial killer?

"The Bone Collector" is a stylishly filmed thriller in the vein of "Seven" and "Silence of the Lambs." It features superb performances by Denzel Washington as a legendary forensic detective left paralyzed by a tragic on-the-job accident and Angelina Jolie as the reluctant and inexperienced beat cop he recruits to be his eyes and ears as they close in on a horrific serial killer. The intense chemistry between the two stars and their deft interpretation of screenwriter Jeremy Iacone's serviceable… Continued
