The Bone Collector(1999)
Lincoln Rhyme, a New York City detective specializing in forensics, was once the country's leading criminologist. Following a near-fatal injury in the line of duty, Rhyme is left bed- bound, his arms and legs useless, and with little will to live. Feisty, street-smart policewoman Amelia Donaghy is only in her early twenties but already feels aged beyond her years. On the eve of being transferred to a desk job, her last call as a street cop leads her to a crime scene and the discovery of a gruesomely-mutilated corpse. After taking a look at the physical evidence file and the photos therein, Rhyme is intrigued with the case. On the first day of her new job, Rhyme has Amelia pulled against her wishes and reassigned to assist him on the case. An unlikely pairing at first, Donaghy must become Rhyme's eyes, ears and legs, scouring horrific crime scenes for evidence as they race against the clock to prevent the next hideous act of this brutal killer.

Universal catalog releases have typically not met with much favor with Blu-ray fans, but in this instance the reason will probably not be the "usual suspect" of digital noise reduction, as fine grain is quite easily apparent throughout the film. Instead there's kind of a squishy softness in the vast bulk of this presentation, without any real pop and lacking any overwhelming fine detail in all but the most extreme close-ups. Contrast is also problematic, making the film's many dimly lit sequences hard to make out at times. While there's seldom outright crush in this transfer, shadow detail is a recurrent issue, something only exacerbated by the overall murkiness and softness of the presentation. Colors are generally quite robust and accurate looking. The Bone Collector Blu-ray, Audio QualityOn the other hand, The Bone Collector's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 audio affords near reference quality fidelity and immersion, with a number of standout surround effects. The first sequence of the film has some great panning effects as Rhyme moves through a busy urban scene, and then just a few moments later there's an overhead sweep of sound that's very impressive as a jet touches down at the airport. The film has a number of rather nuanced foley effects, and if the peregrine falcon's intermittent chirps become actually laughable after a while, there are a number of other great moments to help make up for that aspect. Several of the murder scenes come replete with excellently done sound effects which are impeccably placed throughout the surrounds (one which involves a rush of steam is particularly spectacular). Dialogue is cleanly presented and dynamic range is quite wide.
