I enjoyed The Bone Collector a lot, despite noticing and disliking so many things about it ! I use the word "notice" deliberately, because the film is full of annoying and unbelievable moments, and clichés, that made me stop and think and even consider abandoning the film. That's not a very good situation for a director trying to win us over. But win me over he did, Philip Noyce, by the sheer brilliance of Denzel Washington, the fast pace, the sense of dread and apprehension that permeates the story, the great sets, the colorful supporting cast, and a very god Angelina Jolie. Even the clumsy final action scene, redolent of cheap horror films, did not turn me off ! One of the best "bad" films I can remember.
