Title: Stale white bread in slick packaging
Review: An extraordinary cast and top-notch production values can't redeem this exercise in rehashed mediocrity. Watson, Fiennes, Norton, Hoffman, Hopkins, & Keitel--rarely has so much A-list star-power been gathered together to so little effect. We have seen it all far too many times before, and both SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and the B-grade MANHUNTER did it much better. No matter how slick the packaging, there's still a loaf of stale white bread inside. Even a gourmet like Lector would be hard-pressed to concoct an interesting dish from such bland ingredients.
