In a distinctive twist, “The Bone Collector” is not your typical tale. This gripping story revolves around Lincoln Rhyme, portrayed by Washington, who is a disabled forensics genius. He forms an unusual partnership with Amelia Donaghy, played by Jolie, a green NYPD officer. Together they chase a serial killer across New York City’s labyrinthine streets. On screen, Washington and Jolie make a compelling duo, ably backed by talented actors such as Queen Latifah, Michael Rooker, and Ed O’Neill. Despite the star power that has helped it resonate more with viewers over time, “The Bone Collector” remains largely overlooked as a ’90s thriller.
