Title: Very original
Review: Very original story and well-acted. The filming itself was just fantastic and added a high level of suspense to some scenes.Denzel Washington plays a quadriplegic ex-detective who's been asked by the local police to help solve a case of complicated serial killings. A young female street cop (Angelina Jolie) catches his eye for having a knack for forensics, so he convinces her to assist him in the case. Queen Latifah plays his live-in nurse and is superb. She continues to be one of the most underrated actors around.Everything was well-done in the movie, and it's hard to find any weaknesses. The ONLY weakness is miscasting of Jolie. Although she does a fine job, her physique and personality don't match the desired traits of the character. In this instance, they were obviously looking more for a pretty face than for someone who actually fit the bill. Queen Latifah may have served better for this role. It's still a great film.
