3 stars (Good Enough) Cox is a very different Hannibal Lector to what we are now accustomed to (thanks to Anthony Hopkins), but this remains a tense psychological suspense story, if a little dated thanks to the classic 80s score and presentation. ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) Not too bad - a shorter screenplay would have helped to sustain the suspense a bit better. ~Tubbs
