Good performances but one sick movie

Rating: 5/10 (5 June 2005)

I know a couple who had actually saw the premiere of this film in Hollywood and actually walked out of it when it started and right past Anthony Hopkins! That alone tells you this is one disturbed film. Hopkins is perfect as Hannibal Lecter, a unimaginably smart and insane serial killer who helps Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster won an Oscar) track down another vicious serial killer named Buffalo Bill. The lines are some of the best you will ever hear and the acting is breathtaking. But it is ridiculously vulgar and sadistic. Not for kids under 18 or for the faint of heart or stomach to be more specific. Followed by Hannibal and Red Dragon also starring Hopkins.
