Bone Collector

Pros: The acting of Washington, Jolie, O'Neill, and Latifah, interesting storyline
Cons: the ending needed a little work

The Bone Collector is one of the films that proves Denzel Washington really only needs to have a presence in a film to capture the audience. In the film, Washington plays homicide detective Lincoln Rhyme of the NYPD. He is a very dedicated ...

Pros: Entertaining thriller with good cast.
Cons: Something tied to the mystery handled badly.

I enjoy thriller movies and tend to give them a chance even though some of them end up being not so good.  I first saw Bone Collector back in 1999 when it was still in the theater.  I enjoyed the movie overall and decided to pick ...

Pros: Nice cast, good sound
Cons: Sort of slow....

The Bone Collector is a classic 'serial killer leaves intricate web of clues for detectives' kind of movie. It stars Denzel Washington as a bed-ridden paralyzed detective who was hurt while investigating a murder and Angelina Jolie as a rookie cop who...

Pros: Denzel Washington, Queen Latifah, good plot
Cons: dark lighting, I was somewhat disappointed in killer

I had the opportunity to watch The Bone Collector on ShowTime 2 this past weekend. I had wanted to see this one ever since it hit the big screen, but my husband and I never seem to make it to the theater. I love thriller and suspense movies, and...

Pros: Great cast, good premise
Cons: Too predictable; lacks dramatic intensity

This is the first in a series of movie reviews by my good friends Key and Grip, a pair of fictional reviewers who write for an equally fictional newsletter, the Pension Ridge Arts Gazette. They also record their reviews for a local...

Pros: great acting, suspenseful storyline
Cons: why can't they add a little more light to the scenes?

Some would say a cop’s life is pretty dull. You sit hiding in a bush all day, munching on a box of Krispy Kreme donuts and drinking gallons of coffee, pointing your radar gun at traffic and generally torquing off the public.

Well, okay....

Pros: A good movie thriller
Cons: Not a kiddie movie

Don’t let the title fool you this movie isn't a horror film. “The Bone Collector” is a good old fashion “who did it” movie laced with on-going suspense and intrigue. This movie sets the viewer up for a roller coaster ride that takes you in and out a...

Pros: Angelina Jolie in a deglamourized role.
Cons: At times boring.

Introduction After having exhausted my list of want to see movies, I decided to experiment with other movies that people had suggested me. I decided to go for Bone Collector which had come with high recommendation as it included two stars ...

Pros: Edge of your seat movie
Cons: Not believable

This very well may be the 321st review on The Bone Collector but I just saw it and loved it. Denzel Washington plays Lyncoln Rhyme, a policeman and writer who is paralyzed after a freak accident. Angelina Jolie plays Amelia Donaghy, a police officer who...

Pros: Denzel and Jolie. "Guess who's coming to dinner?"
Cons: Flat suspense at times. Killer is played by a dufus. Could have been scarier.

Cast Denzel Washington Angelina Jolie Ed O'Neill Queen Latifah Lius Guzman Synopsis Lincoln Rhymes (Washington) is one of New York's finest, if not the finest. A veteran cop turned criminologist, forensics is his ...

Pros: Denzel, Queen Latifah and Ed O'Neill are great
Cons: Angelina Jolie's acting and an unbelievable plot

I didn't hate this movie, so it won't be on my hate list, but as I watched it I kept thinking that I had seen it before. My memory won't serve me, but I swear this is a re-make of an earlier film that has just been upgraded to the 21st century. If not,...

Pros: Keep your interest level up
Cons: A tad far-fetched and a bit too gory for me

Being squeamish and at times over-sensitive, I must start out by stating that I was afraid to watch this movie. I do not particularly enjoy gore and grisly images.

Many friends raved about the movie but did say that it was gory at times.
...

Pros: Washington and Jolie rise above the plot to deliver great performances
Cons: Plot holes as wide as Nebraska, red herrings as obvious as the nose on my face

I have nothing against red herrings. When done well, those little plot clues that direct audiences down the wrong path can really smack you between the eyes at the end of a movie. "The Usual Suspects" made good use of false clues; and this...

Pros: okay suspense. Good performances.
Cons: predictable.

I'll be the first to admit, I don't know what makes a good horror/suspense movie. Why "Silence of the Lambs" was elevated to movie royalty still evades me even though I loved that particular film as well.

"The Bone...

Pros: Some gripping moments, good performances
Cons: Plot is damaged, seems cut short and pointless

The book trapped me, pulled me in quite by surprise, and left me breathless and wanting more. The movie, unfortunately, just doesn't deliver the same feeling.

True, there are some stunning performances. A. Jolie is perfect, delivering the...
