Defiantly one of the movies film lovers should see before they die. The film is overall well written, the film stays true to the source material- the series by Thomas Harris. All the characters are on point and well performed! Its no wonder Sir Anthony Hopkins won awards for his performance. His character only had 8 minutes in screen time though. I would defiantly record this film to any film lover- but beware the gore and subject matter. the film is not for the faint of heart and the gore is not softened by the film effects of the 1990's. overall, the film is a must see and is recommended for 15+ due to subject matter. it is enjoyable regardless if you have read the source material or not.
