intelligent person. Someone who has a knowledge of what he is doing. And the way he leaves clues for the cops to follow. To come up with something this perfect, you must a genius. While not really scary, this suspense thriller is actually thrilling as opposed to the many number of "thrillers" that are not even thrilling. Example: HANGMAN . Thank you Hollywood for giving us THE BONE COLLECTOR. This is a good one. Highly recommended.....5/5.

this one.i would give this a perfect ten,but like i said,it didn't quite unnerve me as much as Copycat,which i gave a perfect 10.for me,The Bone Collector is a 9.8/10

be a fortunate one because I was able to watch "The Bone Collector" without having to constantly compare it to a previous film. In short, I liked this movie. I was entertained royally precisely because I didn't take the story line too seriously. There was not much time wasted on character development. GOOD !! I don't need to know why the characters became the persons that they are. I simply want them to get on with whatever they must do. Another thing that I liked was the lack of sex scenes, which seem to be almost a necessity it today's movies. The two leads did a great job and their chemistry was excellent. Mr. Washington and Ms. Jolie were very believable. The killer? No big deal. I couldn't have cared less who did the killings. I simply waited for justice to be done. In short, I don't agree with any of the harsh criticism that I have read on this forum. I guess that's because I am a rather down to earth person who has no need to turn watching a movie into an academic exercise, complete with thorough analysis of character motivation, etc.

his plans, along with a brilliant performance by Angelina Jolie playing young rookie cop, Amelia Donaghy, the duo team up, Lincoln being the brains and Amelia being the eyes and the legs, to track down and take down the serial killer."The Bone Collector" is enjoyable but also very shocking, it keeps you guessing until the final act when the mystery becomes unravelled, it's not what you think unless you're a very clever person, and the killer and primary motive will probably surprise you.A superb supporting cast only added to the sickening splendour of a very stomach churning story, headed up by the ever reliable Luis Guzman, playing Eddie Ortiz, one of Lincolns loyal servants..., the whole cast had a specific role to add something to the story, and the overall acting was one of the film's strongest points. Quaintly claustrophobic, the film gives an overall impression of uncomfortable tight spaces, no more so than Lincoln's dwelling which can get cramped when his whole team pack the place out during the middle portion of the film. The whole film is made to make you feel uneasy and uncomfortable, something that a lot of other films in this bracket fail to do, but "The Bone Collector" is gritty, slimy and very unpleasant..., the cinematographer and the whole production team did a marvellous job of visually personifying the desired feeling and bringing it perfectly onto the screen.Almost top marks for a very fine film, I'd certainly watch it again.

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.

charming, composed and works well with the camera. Her character is convincing enough and this goes for her performance.The support cast is fantastic too, especially Queen Latifa.The film may have the usual iconographic elements found in the psychological thriller genre but they are necessary for it to firstly conform and also progress. 'The Bone Collector' introduces new techniques and a slightly different angle for the viewer. there has to be a certain amount of repetition with this genre for it to work and this is the case for many others, such as romantic comedies and a couple falling in love or teen flicks with a football jock character.I am currently writing my degree dissertation on sexual subjectivity in psychological thrillers and this film is perfect for that. The changing levels of gendered representations is very interesting and both supports and detracts away from the current representations in society.I say, give it a go! Don't listen to people who have already seen it and didn't like it. If I'd have done that then I wouldn't have given it a go and my dissertation would have been short of argument!

forensics experts, processes the clues deliberately left by the killer workout where the killer is holding the woman and when he intends to kill her. Donaghy heads to the site with other cops but they are too late to save her. This isn't the end though; clues point to further victims as well as suggesting that the killer is forensically aware and has an interest crimes and locations from the turn of the twentieth century. Before the case can be solved Rhyme and Donaghy will have to decode a lot more clues, deal with incompetent senior officers and face personal danger.This film may contain plenty of clichés but it is still effective. Denzel Washington impresses as Rhyme; apart from the opening flashback scene he spends almost the entire film lying in bed. Angelina Jolie is also good as Donadhy; making us believe in her character even when things get a bit far-fetched. The deaths are a bit gruesome but either take place off screen or the scene ends before things get nasty. The ending is a bit cliché as the killer targets Rhyme and it turns out that everything we've seen is part of his attempt to beat Rhyme as he holds him responsible for things that went wrong in his life. This does at least lead to a fight where an able-bodied is badly injured by quadriplegic man! There are plenty of tense moments throughout the film and the identity of the killer isn't obvious. Overall a solid thriller that fans of the genre should enjoy.

COLLECTOR. Being tied to the bed does not leave much room for acting, but he can pull it off! Great job I have to say. I also like Angelina Jolie as Amelia, although both of them, Linc and Amelia, are described quite differently in the book. As a stand-alone movie I still think this is one of the best thrillers ever.
