BREAK THE SILENCE.
Ten years afterĀ The Silence of the LambsĀ comes an opportunity to catch up withĀ FBIĀ agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) and the runaway serial killer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), as she is going through a crisis and he is spotted by a daring cop in Florence. This time, the usually dependable screenwriters seemed to care more about spattering the scenery with blood than recreate the intelligent sensibilities that boosted the first movie. The story is a tad sluggish and the character of Hannibal has become another Freddy Krueger, but there are pleasing moments in all this bloody insanity.
