much worse than the book

I read the book first and then watched the movie. After reading it, I was very disappointed. I
accidentally borrowed Diver's "Girl's Grave" from the library. When I returned the book, I borrowed "Human Bone Puzzle" and "Leng Yue" that I could borrow. I had finished reading "Human Bone" and I was reading "Leng Yue".
After watching "Human Bones", I searched for the movie and found that it was starring two actors I liked, so I watched it for
2 hours, but I was very disappointed. If there was no book, I might have given 4 stars, but now I can only Give 2 stars.
There are a lot of wonderful plots in the book that don't even show the turns and turns within turns.
The portrayal of the character's psychology is not deep enough.
Rhyme wasn't so easy to get along with, and Amelia wasn't so lucky and happy.
Maybe the movie is too short?
However, The Shawshank Redemption is well done and basically reflects the spirit of the original.
So, can't forgive

The Bone Collector quotes

  • Amelia: Thelma told me about your plans for your "final transition."

    Lincoln Rhyme: Cop to cop, that subject's not open to discussion. Why?... Would you miss me?

    Amelia: Well, destiny's what we make it, right?

    Lincoln Rhyme: Touche.

    Amelia: Now, you seem to have your reasons for checking out. I just... I would have expected more from someone like you.

    Lincoln Rhyme: Well, I might surprise you and... live forever.

    Amelia: Nothing you could do would surprise me, Rhyme.

  • Amelia: Shit! Cheney's here.

    [puts the evidences into her pocket]

    Captain Howard Cheney: You talking to Rhyme on that thing? Give me the radio. Now, listen, Linc. This is Cheney, man. What the hell do you think you're doing? Stealing evidence is a goddamn felony. You know that.

    Lincoln Rhyme: To my understanding, there's no chain of evidence voucher.

    Captain Howard Cheney: Oh, yeah? Well, I got some news for you. You are not a cop anymore. You understand that? What you are is a fucking meddling cripple. Now, I'm gonna place your little gofer here under arrest. You don't mind that, do ya? Lock her up.

    [looks back and finds Amelia gone]

    Paulie: Where'd she go?
