ThiefHott Too much of everything

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Kirpianuscus for the science to propose a better story than "Hannibal". for the more convincing performances. for Ralph Fiennes who does a perfect portrait of serial killer, mix of different cultural influences , explored in wise manner. a film more subtle than "Hannibal" and almost a return to the spirit of "The Silence of Lambs". explanation - it is not a puzzle , with too many pieces and ambiguous rules, it is not a demonstration and the script gives to Anthony Hopkins the chance to do more than a clone of his character. and Edward Norton is the real right choice for the alternative to Clarice Sterling.

stanster69 Thrilling and suspenseful movie. Well produced, acted and directed.The character Mrs. Jacoby is not listed in the credits. I found this interesting because the rest of the Jacoby family was listed, (the husband and 3 children), but not the mother. Would anyone know the reason for this?

Artur Machado This movie is basically a remake of "Manhunter" from 1986 and many of the lines are exactly the same, but at least this remake is not so sleepy, although it has some parts.It is also a prequel to "Silence of the lambs", but the story is basically the same: just a few characters switched and minor alterations to the script.Although it has good actors, none of them can deliver impact, not even Anthony Hopkins; it just seems like they're all taking a stroll along the movie...Compared to SOTL, this movie creates no tension, no threatening sensation on the viewer. As a remake, is a little better, but just a little. As per se it could and should have been better. Even "Hannibal" is better, an that is a bad movie too. Oh, how I love the "Silence".

spencergrande6 It's amazing to me all the small ways in which a really good story can be sabotaged by poor direction and poor planning and also by being a shameless cash grab, let's be real. On the surface, this is a well cast film that is mostly accurate to the source material.But the movie has no power, no darkness, no life. You start to realize that the cast that looked so good on paper suddenly seems wrong; Edward Norton looking dazed, pragmatic; Ralph Fiennes unsure of what kind of monster he is. Nothing works, it doesn't feel right, ever, and yet it never comes right out and announces itself as a bad movie. It's insidious that way--if only the film had been.
