Title: Sick cuisine; sick ending
Product review: I give this movie two stars only because I like the opening scene featuring the FBI shootout with the gangster mother. Scott does a decent job adapting the screenplay from Harris's novel (initially titled Morbidity of the Soul). What inclined Harris to write such a grotesque ending? I'm glad Jodie Foster turned down the role. I'm also glad I rented this film instead of buying it. Hannibal has the most over-the-top sick ending I've ever seen in a film/novel. I'm also a little disappointed that Hopkins agreed to do a second sequal. Apparently he has succomed to the lust for fame and fortune that intoxicates so many Hollywood actors. I don't plan on seeing this movie again.
