Feeling every bit the 90s movie it is, The Bone Collector throws Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie together in a crime thriller based on Jeffery Deaver’s novel. Washington stars as brilliant, but suicidal, quadriplegic homicide detective Lincoln Rhyme who sees wasted potential in Officer Amelia Donaghy (Jolie) who takes the kind of initiative he, but not her superiors, appreciate in preserving a crime scene. Not initially pleased with her reassignment, Amelia works as Rhyme’s legs in the field helping to track down a serial killer leaving obscure clues and removing bones from his victims.

A less successful adaptation of the Parker novels than that of Jason Statham (there’s a sentence you don’t hear often), Mark Wahlberg stars in what is easily the worst, and most bland, Shane Black movie ever made. After a heist gone wrong, Parker (Wahlberg) works with the duplicitous Zen (Rosa Salazar) on an even larger heist which will pit him against his old enemy Lozini (Tony Shalhoub) and the Outfit.
