A classic from the 90s

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2017)

This movie has aged quite well. More than 25 years ago it was released to acclaim. It was well directed and produced. An intelligent movie by all accounts. I would recommend watching the whole series of movies as I have just done...apart from the first movie Manhunter. I was informed that it was not worth watching as it was a poor movie in comparison. And besides it was remade as Red Dragon which is according to me the third movie in this series. The Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Hannibal Rising. That is the best order to watch them I think. The order in Wichita they were made.
The two leads in this movie were outstanding, and really shined together with such great chemistry. I won't spoil any of the story for those that haven't stumbled upon this gem yet. I will just say that is an FBI vs Serial Killer gem. Well written, intelligently directed. For those that enjoy the true art of acting, which is not so common these days, you will enjoy this movie.
