Short description

Lincoln Rhyme was the department's top homicide detective and leading expert in criminal forensics until an injury left him paralyzed, depressed, and incapable of working. But when a gruesome murder in Manhattan leaves detectives baffled, they call on Rhyme to help solve the mystery. Amelia Donaghy, a rookie cop whose quick thinking preserved a gruesome murder scene, is enlisted by Rhyme to be his on-the-scene forensics expert. With Amelia reluctantly acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, hoping to catch the grisly serial killer.

What's left behind the scenes

In an interview, Jolie said that there was supposed to be a scene in the film where she appeared nude, but Noyes cut it out during editing.
Director Philip Noyes himself wasn't very happy with the finished film. After the release of David Fincher's thriller “Se7en” (1995), every studio wanted to have a film featuring an imitator of some serial killer. Noyes felt that by agreeing to direct this film, he had joined an assembly line, although he perfectly understood that he could never reach Fincher's level.

After the release of David Fincher's thriller 'Seven' (1995), every studio wanted their movies to feature a copycat of some serial killer. Noyce felt that by agreeing to film this movie, he had essentially joined an assembly line, while fully understanding that he could never reach Fincher's level.
