Hannibal

Released - 2001
Genre - Horror, Crime, Thriller
Director - Ridley Scott
Starring - Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Ray Liotta, Gary Oldman

Hannibal returns to our screens in this overly gruesome thriller which lacks the elements which made the original so good. Once more Anthony Hopkins resumes his role as the lovable cannibal with Julianne Moore standing in for Jodie Foster as Clarice and an impressive supporting cast which includes Ray Liotta and Gary Oldman. Sadly this film lacked the cleverness of the original, there was no real psychology used here, just a tired bunch of cliches and violence. Although it has been established that Lecter is smart he does very little that is smart in this film.

Bodycount - 15

Gore - lots of gore and some horrible torture and murder scenes
