Oh no!, Not another predictable not-so-detective movie!. I`m sure that's what most of you are thinking when you read the synopsis for this movie. Every audience is the "professional" in figuring out whom is the murderer and who is going to die next, but in this case, things are a little different.

Pulled off nicely by an incredible lead cast of Academy Award winner Denzel Washington, Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie, and Grammy Award-winning rap artist Queen Latifah, this is one movie that most people will enjoy. If you loved the movie 'Seven', the one with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, you'll pretty much like this movie as well.

'The Bone Collector', based on a book by Jeffry Deaver, is a movie about a murderer loose on the streets of Manhattan, luring the victims into his taxi cab. Of course, the bad guy must be chased by the good guys, as many probably have guessed right, played by Denzel Washington as the character Lincoln Rhyme and Angelina Jolie as Amelia Donaghy. Lincoln Rhyme is a legend in the police force, specializing in forensics who is left bed ridden after a crippling accident that rendered his arms and legs useless. Amelia Donaghy on the other hand is a normal everyday street cop that comes across a gruesome crime scene courtesy of the murderer.

Soon enough the duo meet each other after finding out that the crime was no simple homicide. From there onwards, suspense builds up as more murders occur and the bodies pile up. The rest of the story, well, you people find out yourselves. Although containing no flashy special effects, I would recommend you watch it on the big screens. Due to the dark nature of the movie, naturally the lighting would be very low, so regular VCD renters will find themselves squinting at the screen wondering what on earth they are looking at.

All in all I would say that the movie is worth the money you are going to pay. Not the best movie ever released but definitely a good movie all the same. Just don't take the cab-driver thing too seriously though...
