HANNIBAL IS BACK! BUT SHOULD HE BE? Hannibal (2001) **1/2

The best that can be said for Hannibal is ir could have been worse. Julianne Moore is Clarice Starling as she continues to hunt the good doctor. He is relaxing in Italy but an old enemy forces him out of retirement.


The film delivers the goods insofar as it can and Hopkins does his best at being charming and sadistic. But this film is tame and flails its arms trying to cover up its obvious moneymaking aims.


A tight episode at best expanded to a dull gross feature long superseded by American Psycho and more interesting takes on the serial-killer genre. Recommended only if bored.
