[last lines]
Bones White: I guess the best advice I can give you is be careful of choices you make, keep good people around you and don't quit on your dreams. And as for what happens when you die? I guess you'll have to wait and see.

Hidden Masterpiece

I'm so happy when I sometimes find a hidden gem in all the trash available today. I try to watch everything with an open mind and ignore bad reviews in order to make up my own mind.

Bones turned out to be much better than I anticipated and I was surprisingly drawn into the lives of the characters from the very beginning. Jimmy Bennett shines as always, and his acting does get better and better with every movie he's in. The story was well written and the characters didn't need a long back story in order for you to identify with them. The soundtrack suited the tone of the movie and added to the gripping storyline.

No movie is perfect and Bones does have it's faults, but in my opinion, the good way outnumbers the bad in this title.
