The DVD says:

Academy Award winners Denzel Washington (Best Supporting Actor, Glory 1993) and Angelina Jolie (Best Supporting Actress, Girl, Interrupted, 2000) star in The Bone Collector, a shattering suspense thriller which will both chill and intrigue. Lincoln Rhyme (Washington), a New York City detective specialising in forensics was once the country's leading criminologist. A near-fatal injury in the line of duty has, however left him paralysed with little will to live. Feisty, a street-smart policewoman Amelia Donaghy is on the verge of moving to a desk job but her last call as a street cop leads her to the discovery of a gruesomely mutilated corpse. When Rhyme's fellow detectives persuade him to take on the case, he pulls Amelia reluctantly away from her new job to help him. Although an unlikely pairing, Amelia must become Rhyme's ears, eyes and legs as they race against the clock to get inside the mind of this madman and defeat him at his own game. For he WILL strike again...

My Opinion:

Slow thriller without many horror elements. It does have two excellent performances from Denzel and Angelina, but the lack of action means that the film is slow and tedious. The DVD has a good selection of extras, but the commentary is very boring and I'm never going to watch the movie with just the isolated music score!
