Now I’m afraid to use yellow taxi cabs!

This crime thriller is quite different from the usual as the main detective on the trail of a sadistic and twisted serial killer happens to be paralyzed. Denzel Washington is wonderful as always playing a bright paraplegic who is in a state of deep depression about his condition and has lost the will to live.
But when a prominent couple is kidnapped and a rookie cop stumbles upon the body on a train track Denzel’s curiosity is piqued once more. Angelia Jolie is interesting as the inexperienced cop forced into what she is meant to do: forensic investigation. There's the usual friction at first that turns to admiration between the two. With Denzel's help, she investigates a series of murders related to the original body she found. The type of murders was very chilling and will make one think twice before jumping into their next cab. Ed O'neil, (Married with Children) Luis Guzman and Queen Latifah also supplied a nice supporting cast.
Unfortunately, after building such a tremendous amount of tension, the revelation of the killer is quite a letdown. Nevertheless this is not a bad watch for those who enjoy the genre!
