Very good movies, with flaws

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2012)

Overall I think this is a really solid movie. Good direction (except a few cheap shots), good actors, captivating atmosphere.
What I didn't like, mainly, is that it seems the script is kind of rushed, especially at the end: I felt that the screenplay was unfolding too fast, resulting in a few easinesses. The movie really could have used an extra 30 minutes to properly resolve the plot.
Another thing, not a real flaw actually, but I thought Lecter's character was more interesting than Gumb's, supposedly the main target. You get the feeling that the movie should've centered around Lecter instead of Gumb.
