Silence of the Lambs brings the evil mind of a serial killer and the brilliance of the FBI's Behavioral Science Department to life better than any movie I've seen

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2001)

This is Jonathan Demme's masterpiece. His use of editing and bringing together a great movie that does justice to the book should make the author Mr. Harris very proud. Every scene contributes to one of the best movies of crime drama and would make Mr. Hitchcock stand up and say "BRAVO, I wish that I made that one." Anthony Hopkins is Hannibal Lecter and brings out the best performance of his life and Jodie Foster proves her superb talent as an up and coming student who will make the FBI proud. This is one of the strongest movies I've ever seen. Plus the character actors contribute greatly and it is funny to see them appear in a lot of Mr. Demme's movies. I'd see anything made with his name on it.. a strong 9 stars..they just don't make movies like this anymore. The sequel "Hannibal" doesn't even come close to this.
