Summary: A NAIL-BITTER FILM
Review: Lincoln Rhyme was the best forensic detective around until an injury in the line of duty left him almost completely paralyzed. Now, a serial killer has the city gripped in fear, and only Lincoln's expertise can solve the crimes. A rookie cop will become his eyes and hands in the fields, tracking down one spellbinding clue after another.I think this film is so filled with suspence and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a tired genre
Review: The Bone Collector is the latest in the overdone, tired, cliched serial killer genre. We only see the killer in dark dank places, we only see him with a mask over his face. Angelina Jolie is cast against type as a woman cop, but unfortunately even that is now becoming a cliche in an overdone attempt at something different. This is strictly formula, been done a thousand times, with flat direction and an utterely boring script. This movie will not be remember as anything great, or even good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Chilling yes... but lacks character development
Review: Okay, so Denzel's character wants to kill himself. Reasonable for a para/quadri palegic. But why does he never really seem to be in dispair? Angelina Jolie, beautiful... certainly, falls in love with Denzel, yeah, but the film never really explains why. It just happens and you never really see any reason for her to fall for him other than his looks maybe. And the ending is a little too neat and clean especially considering the circumstances that Denzel is in during the final conflict. A bit far fetched for my taste.

You'll definitely whince at some of the violence but to me it's not enough for me to call it even a good film but merely an above average one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I knew who the killer was when I saw the trailer
Review: The bone collector is a really good detective flic. The only problem was that I knew who the killer was when I saw the trailer. "some you loose, some you win, the game's over"

I knew the actor's voice, I knew who the killer was. End of story. Other than that, it's a good movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It could of been great!.
Review: I was actually dissapointed in the movie after waiting almost 3.5 years to see it after I had read the book. With the acters they had picked, that was their first mistake. And with the money and time they had to do this movie, it could of been better then Seven, but NO!. They did not hold you as the book did, and they even had that as a guide to go by. They missed putting in some of the best parts of the book into the movie which is why it held a person in the grip of terror. I can say this perfectly honestly, if I had the money and the actors, I could of made this movie ten times better than Seven.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not real pleased
Review: I had read the book like 3-4 years ago and I had been waiting for the movie ever since. I veiwed the movie this last year on the big screen finally. I was rather disapointed, with the actors they used and the back ground of the book, they had completely lost the grasp of keeping your attention. As the book, one almost had the feel he/she was right there with the killer, or his victims. they left out some of the best parts that would of made this movie better than Seven!. But, no, I could of made this into a killer movie if I could of had the actors and the money to do the film!.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: =)
Review: A little test.Who accepts the following:A supermodel becomes a streetcop.A New York Police-Inspector lives in an million dollar plus appartement.The NYPD has equipment that would make the NASA jealous.When people are in love they stroke eachothers fingers.A bookcase falls and the book you're looking for falls on your lap.Everything will turn out ok when it's Christmass,even when you're paralised from the neck.If the answer is yes than The Bone Collector your kinda movie.It wouldn't bother you that the plot is full of gaps!But it did bother me so that's why I give the movie 2 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First of all....I loved it.
Review: First of all....I loved it. Denzel Washington plays a severly disabled former New York police detective who is called upon to help solve a rash of recent murders. With the help of Angelina Jolie, a foot patrol officer, he is able to track the killer's next moves. This film is extremely intense and some of the scenes extremely gorry. I found myself jumping numerous times and kept on the edge of my seat for the rest. Bottom line...no wonder this is rated R, I could just imagine some kids wanting to collect things other than baseball cards or stamps.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Foolish to the bone
Review: The plot is elementary and progresses with giant leaps in a direction that only the writer can follow. Was Washington a detective using deduction to solve the case or was he clairvoyant? Do not give your dollar votes to such intelligence insulting productions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Never Sit Still
Review: The best horror flick I have seen in awhile Denzel though still can wheel and deal cards with the best of them I never knew who or what the end was but it freaked me out big time the best horror/drama ever! Read the book its better
