Premise
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.
Who should watch
Those who want to see great acting and suspense, and have a decent stomach.
Thoughts
It oozed with creepiness and psychological suspense. Obviously, the main reason to watch this film was the performance of Sir Anthony Hopkins. Jodie Foster held her own ground. Based on these, I think it deserved best picture.
Watching it over a decade later, the shock factor felt outdated. Either that or the bad guy's motives seemed to be easy to figure out.
What I would change
Nothing.
