Red Dragon

BEFORE THE SILENCE, THERE WAS THE DRAGON.

reddragonShortly after exposing psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) as a serial killer,Ā FBIĀ agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) must confront him again in order to catch another horrible murderer.Ā You may ask yourself what point there is in remakingĀ ManhunterĀ (1986), but this well-told, exciting prequel toĀ The Silence of the LambsĀ (1991) takes advantage of our ambivalent feelings for Lecter and therefore involves the viewer in a different way thanĀ ManhunterĀ did. Hopkins makes his suave cannibal more interesting here than inĀ HannibalĀ (2001). The opening scenes keep one on the edge of oneā€™s seat, as Hannibal finds a better purpose for a bad musicianā€¦

2002-U.S. 124 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Brett Ratner. Screenplay: Ted Tally. Novel: Thomas Harris. Cast: Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lecter), Edward Norton (Will Graham), Ralph Fiennes (Francis Dolarhyde), Harvey Keitel, Emily Watson, Mary-Louise Parkerā€¦ Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lalo Schifrin. Voice of Ellen Burstyn.Ā 

Trivia:Ā Anthony Heald and Frankie Faison appear in the original roles they had inĀ Silence of the Lambs. Followed byĀ Hannibal RisingĀ (2007).

Quote:Ā ā€œTell me, Will. Did you enjoy it? Your first murder? Of course you did. And why shouldnā€™t it feel good? It does to God. Why only last week in Texas, he dropped a church roof on the heads of 34 of his worshippers, just as they were groveling for him.ā€ (Hopkins to Norton)
