Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPhillip Noyce is not a big fan of his work on this film. In the wake of Se7en (1995), every studio wanted a copycat serial killer film on their books. He felt that he was just part of the assembly line by signing on to this film, knowing full well that he would never be able to match David Fincher's achievement.
- Goofs(at around 1h 35 mins) Amelia spends several minutes in the waters of New York Harbor, then heads for the subway station in perfectly dry clothes.
- Crazy creditsIn the international prints, the Columbia Pictures closing print logo is not shown at the end.
- Alternate versionsAn alternative ending was shot where Thelma survives and can be seen at the Christmas party. This was not used because it was deemed too unbelievable.
Featured review
A very good "bad" movie
I enjoyed The Bone Collector a lot, despite noticing and disliking so many things about it ! I use the word "notice" deliberately, because the film is full of annoying and unbelievable moments, and clichés, that made me stop and think and even consider abandoning the film. That's not a very good situation for a director trying to win us over. But win me over he did, Philip Noyce, by the sheer brilliance of Denzel Washington, the fast pace, the sense of dread and apprehension that permeates the story, the great sets, the colorful supporting cast, and a very god Angelina Jolie. Even the clumsy final action scene, redolent of cheap horror films, did not turn me off ! One of the best "bad" films I can remember.
