A psychological cop thriller involving a paralyzed detective and a rookie
youth services officer.  Denzel is Lincoln Rhyme, a genius cop who was
injured on the job, and now only has control from the shoulders up, and one
of his fingers (makes for easier computer navigation!).  After a rookie cop
(Jolie) finds a buried body and a bunch of clues, Rhyme forgets his woes and
is interested in the case.  And in the cop!  He convinces her to switch for
forensics, so that she can act as his eyes & ears (and legs and arms, etc)
while he barks commands to her remotely.   She agrees and they're off!
Putting little pieces of evidence together in unbelievable ways, and always
one step behind the killer!

Nothing really new here.  A lot of detective/serial killer story cliches,
but it was still entertaining.  That is, until the end when the killer shows
his/her face.  Ooof.  What a goofball.  Denzel, Angelina, and Queen Latifah
are all good, but do we really need the holier than thou, dumber than a rock
captain (or whatever he was)?  There are some chills, but not a ton.  Some
torture and a little little bit of gore.  But like I said, it kept me
interested till the end, and I'd recommend you watch it, but not own it.
