The Bone Collector.
I really dont get why people hang an axe over Denzel. Not only is the guy pretty amazing in his roles, you can actually feel his presence as that character. Right from the opening frame till the last (when he murmurs "Merry Christmas" back at Angelina), he is Lincoln. Thats what makes the guy a pole apart from many of the rest, and puts him right in the leagues of a Daniel Day Lewis or a Al Pacino.
As for the movie, its a pretty decent whodunnit. Jolie plays her part well but looks a bit out of place, and Rooker is always a treat to watch. The major disappointment for me was the climax, which looked too hurried and just didnt feel right with the tone of the flick. Of course, it could have been worse...but in terms of impact, this one falls down several notches just cuz of it. Too bad, because this is a wonderful first 80 minutes + really disappointing last 25 minutes combo.
