Negative Positive
Title: Great film
Review: Saw an advanced screening last week. This is a great film, one of the best out this year, in a year of paltry serious releases that have included a short list that contains one hour photo, bourne identity, monsoon wedding, and the cinerama re-release of Lawrence of Arabia.It is much more "Silence" than "Hannibal" but with different primary characters (Ed Norton in place of Jodie Foster). There are some flaws, but overall a very good film. The acting cast, which includes Anthony Hopkins as classic Lecter, Ed Norton, Emily Watson (who deserves an Academy nomination as best supporting actress for this role), and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is phenomenal. Great visuals, suspense, and music.Expect this film to do well, critically and commercially.
Is the review positive or negative?
