Great, great, great movie. Anthony Hopkins is one creepy dude. Jodie Foster is one big bag of suck, though. Her accent was grinding on my nerves from the moment she opened her mouth, and she’s really a terrible actress. But it doesn’t matter. Because Anthony Hopkins is so great… he could be filmed reading the phone book or reciting trigonometry equations and I’m pretty sure he’d be just as creepy.
Aside from all the good that is Anthony Hopkins and the story in general… hello, writers? No FBI agent worth anything would go into a basement with a murderer alone, without calling for any backup, and then proceed to open doors and not check corners and generally everything that anyone who’s watched any crime drama on TV ever would know. Just sayin’.
