The atmosphere is good, almost the heat

I watched this movie on September 21, 2012. There was a classic evaluation called "first-rate novels, second-rate movies; third-rate novels, first-rate movies". I feel the same in this regard. This movie is adapted from the "Human Bone Puzzle" by American novelist Jeffrey Defoe. It's a pity The thing is that I have not read this novel, but I have watched more than one of Defoe's "Empty Chair", "Coffin Dancer", and "Stone Monkey", including Defoe's Lincoln Lime series and John Gerry. Sam’s Lawyer series and Michael Connelly’s Harry Boss series are both very good novel series. They can all be called first-class novels, but I might like Lawrence Block’s detective novels more than realism. Compared with Brock’s novels, Defoe’s and Connery’s novels are too bizarre and exaggerated, and exaggerate the murderer’s brutality and the mysteriousness of the methods. As a result, they are often exposed because of the actor’s whim, which I don’t like. A little bit.
Compared with the novel, "Human Bone Puzzle" amplifies this point of the novel, weakens the heart description of the novel, and tries to highlight the murderer's murderous mystery. The story lacks foreshadowing before and after, and is too vague. Julie's performance is slightly immature, and compared with Washington's Lao Lao, it seems to be somewhat alienated from the development of the story. Compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins" that I admire most, the difference is not a level.
I haven't written a movie review for seven years, and I feel so jerky.

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?
