Review of The Bone Collector (1999) by Christopher H — 14 Dec 2012
The definition of a gritty thriller, "The Bone Collector" rarely strays from the textbook suspense tricks. However, with Denzel Washington able to keep the film afloat while remaining in a bed the entire film is a testament to the man's superior acting ability.
Also, Angelina Jolie delivers an acceptable performance, nailing the New York accent, as well as reflecting the constant struggle between what her character wants and what Washington's character wants from her.
Although the urgency of the film staggers and the illusion is lost after multiple viewings, there is something to be said for this novel adaptation.
