Â
A bed-ridden former forensic expert, Lincoln Rhyme (only
in Hollywood), assists a rookie cop in solving a host of macabre murders by a serial killer, each of which more elaborate than the last.
In the wake of films like Seven, this is a generally
decent thriller until it is revealed that these intricate crimes have been perpetrated by a complete and utter moron. A total anticlimax.
