Thrillers over time

1990s
The Bone Collector

The Bone Collector is a 1999 thriller film starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, directed by Phillip Noyce and produced by Martin Bregman.
The movie was based on a crime novel written by Jeffery Deaver, concerning the quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme. It was the first book of the Lincoln Rhyme series.
An ex-forensics expert who was injured in an accident, and now is paralyzed, Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) and a patrol cop, Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie), team up to solve a string of murders all connected to a serial killer by his signature: a single shard of bone is removed from each of the victims. Rhyme is bed-ridden, but communicates with Amelia via phone as she examines the various crime scenes and collects evidence and reports back to him. Lincoln is completely oblivious to Amelia's extraordinary good looks - they operate on a purely professional level, and Lincoln's almost morbid fascination in her is based on her professionalism and 'knack' for crime solving.
