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.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

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

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
