Great acting, nasty storyline

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2001)

I've got a love-hate relationship with this movie. A sort of a contradiction I know, but it happens to be the case. Both Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster give awesome performances, and the direction is fine as well, but the plot is too macabre for me to take, even if I have seen the movie more than once. Overall, the movie deserves a 8/10 rating from me.
