Acting 9/10: The acting in the movie was pretty outstanding so its no surprise Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster won oscars for this film. Hopkins does a superb job as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Even though he didn't have nearly as much screen time as Foster his performance is unforgettable.  He fit the role perfectly. Foster as well did a very good job in the film. She was a likable and smart character though Hopkins without a doubt stole the show.


Overall Rating: 9/10

Would I recommend it? If you are a fan of Thrillers, Drama films, or Crime films, then you have to watch it. Even if you don't enjoy those genre's very much give it a try. Its very creepy and exciting. In my opinion this is one of the greatest thriller movies of all time.
