Superb Acting In This One!

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2013)

Based on the Thomas Harris novel, film follows the efforts of FBI cadet Clarice Starling(Jodie Foster, in an Academy Award winning performance) to catch a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill, who kidnaps and murders his victims. She contacts incarcerated(and legendary) serial killer Hannibal Lecter(Anthony Hopkins, in an unforgettable, brilliant Academy Award winning performance) who taunts Clarice, yet finds himself impressed by her determination and mysterious background, which he intends to take full advantage of, leading to a dramatic(and lethal) escape...
Supremely well acted and well crafted horror tale is quite suspenseful and compelling as well, though is a bit over the top at times, this is still excellent. Also won Academy Awards for Best Picture and director(Jonathan Demme).
