Make it YOUR main course.

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2001)

When I sat down to this marinated, spiced-up thriller, I wasn't expecting such a treat! After all, rarely does a film come along that's as delicious as this.
Well anyway, while on my appetizer I lost my appetite a bit while I tried to swallow Anthony Hopkins's excellent acting and the vulgar themes of the film, but then as I chewed on the cannibalism, skinning, serial-killers, and dark tones a little more, I began to enjoy the meal.
THEN I was launched into a SUPERB main course. As I dove deeper into the course, I found that my meal had more of a special flavor (and Anthony Hopkins can certainly cook up a memorable line), and not to mention the excellent Jody Foster, whose explosive dish is in no way overshadowed by Anthony Hopkins.
Then I came crashing down to the end...A delicious dessert that leads right into the sequel (which you can enjoy after February 9).
And so, if you can stomach it, I dare you to make this YOUR main course. You'll be surprised what you can swallow.
No pun intended.
