6.5/10
Better than Hannibal, not as good as SOTL, but much better than I expected. (Especially considering Brett Ratner directed)
This movie is all about the cast. Put high powered actors in your average flick, and it becomes a hell of a lot better.
In addition to Anthony Hopkins returning to his most notable role, you have --
Ed Norton as his nemesis, FBI profiler Will Graham
Harvey Keitel "Mr. Wolf"ing it up as the FBI director
Ralph Fiennes as the serial killer
Emily Watson as his blind love interest
and Philip Seymour Hoffman as a sleazy journalist
There are also roles for Mary Louise Parker, "Lost" actor Ken Leung, "The Wire"'s Frankie Faison (who was also in SOTL), and the awesome Anthony Heald ("Boston Public") as the not-yet-dinner Dr. Chilton.
That's a lot of incredible star power for one movie.
This isn't as good as last year's "Zodiac", but it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy this genre or just like Lecter.</div>
I believe the ending was really changed from the novel.
