filled with suspense and intense action, the bone collector is an absolute winner in its genre this year. it is scary. very? yep but not scary in the way when you are watching the scream trilogy. the images stay in your mind. i remember the few days after i watched the bone collector, my heart dropped just when i walked close to a taxi. you must know why if you have watched the movie.

denzel washington is on the bed for 98% of the screening time but he still impresses the viewers as he is a fine actor, and in the hurricane later this year, he proves that he is the one who should have grabbed the oscar. angelina jolie is a policewoman, formerly a young model. she shines in the movie though the chemistry between denzel and her seems to be rather weak.
