A young FBI cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.
This movie was awesome! After I watched it for my Soc. class I decided I should review it here.
So although Hannibal Lecter is totally fictional he is still freakishly scary. That actor was truly amazing and I believed for every minute of the 118 I was watching him that he really was a serial killer. Buffalo Bill not so much, but then again, he was a little too crazy for my taste. I'm guessing that's the way the director wanted to portray Bill so the actor was probably just doing what he was told...fair enough. At least he was consistent.
Clarice was very relatable and I don't even like Jodie Foster. When she was scared so was I, when she figured something out I realized what it was. The way the movie was paced was also really good. I could keep up with what was happening. It wasn't too procedural, like a bad episode of Law & Order.
I could also personally relate to Clarice because I am female and you could really see how she struggled to fit into the FBI, which was mostly dominated by men.
I'm not going to give a synopsis of the film because I know I'll give too much away. Every moment is either interesting, thrilling or earth shattering and everyone should have the opportunity to feel that themselves. I don't want to ruin anything!
So in summary...SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Overall 4 stars. It's not worth 5 because once you know the ending the rest is ruined. You can never watch it again.
