Outstading Drama with a Thrilling Plot and Superb Performances,

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2015)

The Silence of the Lambs is a fantastic movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. It is a pure thriller and likely one of the best ever made, it does not just rely on being creepy, but also on strong performances, which I don't think thrillers do often enough.
Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins's performances are absolutely outstanding. Foster is a very likable and believable police officer, and Anthony Hopkins completely becomes his character of Hannibal Lecter. It didn't seem like an easy role to do, but he did it so naturally, with no hesitation.
This film won five Academy Awards and is only the third film to win the Big Five, which it completely deserved, it isn't a movie that you would expect to win Best Picture, but I am very happy it did.
Dramatic, terrifying at times and without a doubt film gold, I would recommend Silence of the Lambs to anyone looking for a good thriller or drama.
A young FBI agent must meet with a psychopathic serial killer in order to catch one who is still on the loose.
Best Performance: Anthony Hopkins
