The Bone Collector is an exceptional film that gets rated lower than it should for one reason. Those who have read the book nitpick apart the film because it is not exactly like the book, and I don't think that is fair. I loved the movie when it came out in 1999 and I love it today, many years after the first watch. Angelina Jolie was in her prime and she uses a convincing New York accent, although she does seem to pause at strange moments like she's figuring out what to do next. Denzel Washington is ideal as the handicapped detective, who assists the cops in solving some of the more complicated crimes from his home, complete with some digital support, though rudimentary by today's standards. Queen Latifah very proficiently plays Denzel's home-care assistant, although this role is a change from the book and seems to be a big sticking point according to the literary crowd. If you are fascinated by crime stories or have an interest in New York history, then this is an "A" movie for sure and it holds up to today's standards for the most part. My only grievance was how a few of the outdoor daylight scenes seemed to be shot on the wrong type of film, or blue-matte filtered way too much and is way too dark, but The Bone Collector easily remains on the list of my favorite films.Read full review
