Hannibal

USA 2001, 133 minutes
Dir. Ridley Scott
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Psycho, Serial Killers

Feat. Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Ray Liotta

Aroview: Anthony Hopkins reprises his iconic role as Hannibal Lechter in this controversially gruesome sequel to the serial killer classic, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

Ten years on, Clarice Starling (this time, Julianne Moore) still hasn't exorcised Lechter's demons and finds him alive, well and up to his old heinous tricks in Europe. A shadow of its former self in all departments, even with Scott at the helm and a screenplay by David Mamet and Steven Zaillian.

2 stars (Good Try) Almost more slasher than psychological thriller, this is not as good as ‘Silence of the Lambs’ or ‘Red Dragon’, although it does add some depth to the Hannibal legacy if you are particularly invested in the character. ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) Pretty flat & lacks suspense - the length doesn't help - nor does the fact that we know Hannibal is the baddie from the off. ~Tubbs
