The Bone Collector can't overcome limits of its script and it is unlikely to remain in viewers' memory for a long time.

A desperate send-up of authentic evil, a True Crime! tabloid 'zine thriller packaged with all the subtlety and restraint of children's toothpaste.

shares with most of the films of this genre a penchant for moody photography, startling bursts of violence and, regrettably, a finale that's so far-fetched and relies on so many coincidences it's impossible to swallow.

The real killer... is easily spotted in the movie's one scene that isn't specifically designed to move the plot forward.

O que poderia ser uma boa história transforma-se em um emaranhado confuso de clichęs.
