MOVIE - RED DRAGON - $$$$$ $$1/2 (out of 10)
STARRING - ANTHONY HOPKINS, EDWARD NORTON, RALPH FIENNES, HARVEY KEITAL, EMILY WATSON, MARY-LOUISE PARKER & PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN.
Anthony Hopkins returns as Hannibal Lecter in a prequel to The Silence of the Lambs. The movie is based on the 1981 novel, of the same name, by Thomas Harris (the author of the subsequent The Silence of the Lambs). Red Dragon may also be the only prequel that is also a remake. Red Dragon was originally brought to the Silver Screen, in 1986, in the movie Manhunter (See link - Greg's Previews).
It is a testament, to Anthony Hopkins's portrayal of Tom Harris's fascinating Hannibal, that what would otherwise have been just another bad movie succeeds in the end.
