Combining a gripping storyline and strong performances, especially by Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, “The Bone Collector” delivers a captivating yet somewhat formulaic crime thriller experience. The film balances suspense with character development but is occasionally marred by plot improbabilities and clichés. It’s an engaging watch, especially for fans of the genre, with enough twists to keep viewers intrigued, though it may not stand out against other prominent thrillers.
