The Silence of the Lambs

TO ENTER THE MIND OF A KILLER SHE MUST CHALLENGE THE MIND OF A MADMAN.

Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
