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.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
