I waited with anxious anticipation for
Red Dragon--while others shuddered at the thought of still
more gourmet dinners by Hannibal Lecter, the screen's most famous
cannibal.
The refreshing part of this movie is its
use of old-fashioned acting. You won't want to leave your seat
for popcorn.
Red Dragon
is a terrific, suspenseful, and sometimes terrifying edge-of-your-seat
ride.
I was well satisfied and pleased. |
A brilliant ensemble cast struts their
stuff as Hannibal Lecter returns for the first time in this Silence
of the Lambs prequel/remake.
This time it's Edward Norton taking on
the "Tooth Fairy," a serial killer with a William
Blake fetish.
Less gore and solid storytelling make this
one a winner, with a few surprises thrown in for pure enjoyment.
Delicious. |
Red Dragon
is based on the first of Thomas Harris' three Lecter novels.
So far, the franchise has made more than $630 million worldwide.
The film is a suspenseful, scary, bone-chilling
thriller, with an all-star cast of one Oscar winner, four nominees,
and one Tony winner.
This is an acting feast that's hard to
beat. I'm hoping this movie is not the last supper for Anthony
Hopkins, and that he can be lured back into the Hannibal Lecter
mask one more time. |
