The Bone Collector: Universal’s Answer to Seven
After the success of Seven (1995), studios rushed to create their own serial killer thrillers. Universal responded with The Bone Collector, based on Jeffery Deaver’s 1997 novel.
The film stars “two Oscar winners—Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington—and one Oscar nominee, Queen Latifah.”
Set in New York City, it follows Washington as a “brilliant but quadriplegic homicide detective” whose “razor-sharp mind” helps solve twisted murders. Despite his physical limitations, he remains the key to cracking the case.
