Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2014)

This is a pretty good movie that should be in everyone's collection. Hopkins is at his peak here and really plays a bad guy that you'd like to hang out with, but maybe take a rain check on the dinner. The combination of the music, acting and atmosphere makes for a movie that I myself have watched at least 10 times. The scene where he is locking the straight jacket almost made me believe he was trapped for good. Each time I watch it I get the same chills in my spine when he so coolly slices into that guys brain. it would have been nice if the movie would have stuck to the book a little more, but I thought that was not really a major issue.
