Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Denzel Washington stars in this hit suspense thriller as Lincoln Ryhme, a former New York City Police Crime Scene Investigator, paralyzed from the neck down after a tragic accident. Relegated to his bed in his spacious apartment and surrounded by state-of-the-art hi-tech computer equipment, Rhyme continues his work investigating crime scene evidence gathered by law enforcement. When a series of bizarre murders plagues the city, leaving the police baffled, Rhyme enlists the help of Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) a young, street-smart beat cop with an impeccable knack for paying attention to detail. Together the two begin to unravel the clues the killer is leaving behind - the same clues that will lead the guilty party straight to the Rhymes' downtown loft.
