What Happened To The Bone Collector?

For every Se7en, there was a dud such as The Specialist, Entrapment or The Real McCoy. So, where does the Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie thriller, The Bone Collector sit within this? By the time 1999 rolled around, was the genre in need of an adrenaline shot to re-ignite some tension and emotion from those classic examples, and was the pairing of Denzel and Angelina the actors to provide it? Well, strap yourselves in for a bout of ‘hunt the psycho’ as we find out here, on What happened to The Bone Collector.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: What Happened To This Horror Movie?

This is one of my old favorites. I’ve seen it many times and never understood why it wasn’t better received.

[joshuapeterson]

This is a perfect example of “everyone is entitled to their own opinion.”. A great film, in my humble opinion.

[jeeither]

I don't know why, but I love this movie so much. I will watch it every single time it's on TV.

[kaylove]

This is a great movie period.... Denzel Washington can play the hell out of any role he's in. I especially love that in the end, even though he's paralyzed, he still fights back, and he definitely gets some good hits on the villain. I don't know why this movie got such a low score, but i believe it's a clasic, and Angelina joli and Denzel are fabulous in it. I also love that they get together in the end

The 90s had some of the best crime thrillers. Bone Collector is one of them

[brion]

I was going to say - 'Love me a 90's thriller', but even the early 00's had some fun ones like 'Along Came a Spider' & 'High Crimes'.

[Zed-fqlj]

An excellent crime thriller, brilliant performances, the plot, the movie had everything, so underrated!

[gorequillnachovidal]

not to be confused with Jenna Haze in the Boner Collector

[TarawaS]

"Midrange..." "Hackers." How dare you! Hackers is a cinematic masterpiece and you need to put some respec on its name!

[nigeldonaldson]

The...tone of the ending scene at Christmas was obviously meant to contrast with the rest of the material which is very dark, as the family gather round, & it does as an epitape, something a film like this needs.
how do you think it could have been made better?

[MicaelSG]

What a coincidence! I saw this film last week. Hadn't watch it since I rented it in a vhs store 20 years ago. Still holds up pretty ok.

[wstine]

It must've been hard for Denzel Washington to act paralysized in a convincing manner.

[yvdtjel]

Angelina in uniform? 😍 Looks like an instant watch to me!

My wife loves this film and I don't mind the regular repeat viewings (better than 2 hours of soaps every evening). We always hoped for additional films based off of the Lincoln Rhyme's book series, so news that a sequel was being discussed was a happy day for the lady.

[thecunninlynguist]

I remember seeing this with my aunt when she was in town. Denzel was great in it

[williamblakehall]

I always appreciate this movie and sit back down to it whenever it comes on. A lot of this is about Rhyme finding the will to live, so I particularly appreciate the ending.

[weston]

It's funny, when I first saw this back in the day, I immediately knew who the killer was because I had just seen Very Bad Things and I recognized the actor. I thought, "He's somebody, not a main character but he's somebody and he's gonna come back, " and sure enough I was right

[JohnStanworth]

I’m amazed they kept in Sharon Stone’s flashing.

[mikaross]

I remember really liking this movie when it came out. The cast made it even better.

[rodneymckay]

I forgot this movie had two Equalizers
