The Bone Collector

The Bone Collector (1999) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Phillip Noyce directed it from Jeffery Deaver's novel, with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie in the leads.

Lincoln Rhyme was New York's sharpest forensics detective until an accident left him paralyzed, able to move little more than one finger. He is ready to give up. Then a killer starts staging bodies across Manhattan, leaving coded fragments at each scene that point to the next victim. Rhyme is the only mind that can read them. He recruits Amelia Donaghy, a young patrol cop with no detective training, to be his eyes and hands. He talks her through the gore over the radio; she walks the blood-slick streets, and together they chase a man who treats murder as a puzzle.

Noyce builds the tension on a simple pairing: a brilliant man who cannot move and a rookie whose hands shake. Queen Latifah, Michael Rooker and Luis Guzmán fill out the cast. It runs 118 minutes, with the answer always one step ahead. Stream The Bone Collector (1999) online on iFILM.
