very good,but Red Dragon is superior

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2007)

i remember watching this movie a long time ago and not being all that impressed.but i watched it again last night,and i have a higher opinion of it now than i did before.it's a good film,there's no question.it's very moody and atmospheric,yet i still think Red Dragon is a superior film.however,did like a lot about "Silence...".i thought Scott Glenn was excellent as Jack Crawford,Starling's(Jodi Foster)superior.i am not a Jodi Foster fan at all,however,she did well in this movie.i still think, though,that Julianne Moore's portrayal of Clarice Starling in Hannibal is superior.Hopkins is brilliant of course as Hannobal Lector.but Ted Levine is equally brilliant in his portrayal of "Buffalo Bill". yes,"Silence..."is a very good movie,but what puzzle me is how people revere it as much as they do.it isn't that good.it will definitely give you chills and draw you in.the story is very compelling.having said all that,i give SOTL 7/10
