On its own, it’s ok. If you’re channel surfing and this happens to be on HBO or something, stay tuned. Don’t run to Blockbuster for it though. What really hurts the film is that it absolutely must be compared to the other Lecter movies. It’s not even worth mentioning Rising in light of Silence of the Lambs, but even Hannibal was more fun than this. Here’s something I just found out: Anthony Hopkins’ holds the record for shortest on-screen role for a Best Actor award winner. He’s only in Silence of the Lambs for 17 minutes.
