The Bone Collector

Denzel Washington, he used to be all that didn't he? He single-handedly saved "Malcolm X" from being another Spike Lee disaster flick He played the ultimate and most loathable villain the world has ever seen in "Training Day" and in the process delivered one of the best performances we have ever had the pleasure of watching. And then he settled back to play "the smart cop." In "Fallen" he was the smart cop up against the paranormal. In this film he is the smart cop that is disabled....and from here on he's going to do pretty much the same role over and over and over again. And each one is going to merge into the other leaving us to wonder what happened to that great actor that is hiding behind all those cop roles? For the mystery/thriller genre, it's not bad...but unfortunately, you're left wondering how many great movies you could have seen if he kept picking other roles. The talent is there...and its there itching to come out...unfortunately you have seen Washington play this role far too often to enjoy it. Go back to acting, Denzel, we miss you.
