The Bone Collector (1999)

**A sinister killer and ominous tone cement The Bone Collector as one of the best crime thrillers of the 90s.**
The Bone Collector is one of the best thriller mystery movies out there! This eerie game of cat and mouse captivates its audience with its fast and foreboding pace and incredible performances from Denzel Washington and a young Angelina Jolie. Despite being over 20 years old and the flashy technology showcased as cutting age being very dated, The Bone Collector this thrills to this day thanks to its horrifying kills, surprising twists, and gripping tension. Critics weren't fans, and even user reviews are split, but I have no shame in recommending this dark atmospheric mystery to anyone looking for a creepy crime thriller.

Denzel Washington, he used to be all that didn't he?
He single-handedly saved "Malcolm X" from being another Spike Lee disaster flick
He played the ultimate and most loathable villain the world has ever seen in "Training Day" and in the process delivered one of the best performances we have ever had the pleasure of watching.
And then he settled back to play "the smart cop." In "Fallen" he was the smart cop up against the paranormal. In this film he is the smart cop that is disabled....and from here on he's going to do pretty much the same role over and over and over again.
And each one is going to merge into the other leaving us to wonder what happened to that great actor that is hiding behind all those cop roles?
For the mystery/thriller genre, it's not bad...but unfortunately, you're left wondering how many great movies you could have seen if he kept picking other roles.
The talent is there...and its there itching to come out...unfortunately you have seen Washington play this role far too often to enjoy it.
Go back to acting, Denzel, we miss you.
