Title: Hype Rules...and fools
Product review: I am not going to compare this film to either of the others that have gone before because that would be the wrong thing to do. Taking it as a stand alone film, in which the principal player is one of the most sinister characters in movie murder history, it was just very poor. There was nothing particularly wrong with the acting, the sets, the direction or any aspect of production really, it was just a bad story. With the potential of weaving a superb tale around Hopkins excellent character, it instead turned into a total wasted oppotunity. I had actually read the book beforehand and thought that the story was poor. Unfortunatly, poor books translate into even poorer films. Don't beleive the hype, see it before you buy it. It is very likely you will save your money.
