    Predictable but entertaining enough.

    I totally wasn't expecting the killer to be who it turned out to be. I'm not a big Angelina fan, and she still wasn't great in this, but the movie otherwise was really good.

    Good actors but the plot didn't keep my interest.

    Good acting by all involved and has some good names and an interesting plot, but didn't keep my attention like it should have. Not a great film, but not a bad one, either.

    A very silly film. We're supposed to believe that the Police Department would let a rookie cop onto a scene-of-crime to collect forensic evidence when they pay dudes to do that stuff for a living! Tripe! Also, it doesn't help that the serial killer's games are so random and erudi...( read more)te that the viewer can't play along. So by-the-book if you turn the volume up you can hear the pages turning. I suppose we have "Se7en" to blame for this one.

  • November 13, 2009
    Really good thriller. Reminiscent of "Rear Window".
  • November 3, 2009
    these two works magic together

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Assembled from off-the-shelf thriller contrivances, likable characters and utter absurdity, with one of those scores that's the musical equivalent of trying to scrape the burnt meat off the bottom of ... full review

The Bone Collector is another one of those unpleasant serial-killer movies. full review

    This movie has a nice choice of actors. The plot is commendable and is truely a disturbingly wicked one. However, the ending is not really as good as I expected it to be.
