and forces him to reckon with his future. Meanwhile, Decker must contend with a series of unsettling changes, including a new partner-Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White-and a devastating event that brings Decker’s own tragic past back to the present. Who was the real target in this vicious attack? What at first seems cut and dry is anything but: Not only did the judge have more enemies than Decker can count-from violent gang members, drug dealers, and smugglers to a resentful ex-husband-but the bodyguard presents additional conundrums that muddy the waters even further. When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double homicide, the case appears straightforward: A federal judge and her bodyguard have been found dead, the judge’s face sporting a blindfold with two eye holes crudely cut out, a clear sign that she’d made one too many enemies over her years on the bench. Hannibal is just a shock hungry film that holds on to just enough of the originals formula to be a minor recommendation.From the author of The 6:20 Man, “Memory Man” Amos Decker-an FBI consultant with perfect recall-delves into a bewildering double homicide in this new thriller in David Baldacci's #1 New York Times bestselling series. If you haven't seen Silence, go watch it. I can pretty much guarantee you will be disappointed in the outcome of this movie if you have seen Silence. I still enjoyed it despite its many, many faults and the fact that Ridley Scott didn't deliver what was expected. Too bad that isn't the case.Īs it is this was worthwhile film for me. Had he had a slightly less obvious, more subtle, and smarter script to work with who knows what we'd be saying about Hopkins as it pertains to this movie. His performance isn't his Oscar winning one from Silence, but it's still good. I realize I'm not talking this movie up much, but it at least deserves a look for Hopkins as Lector again. The plot was a little messy in this film and things mostly felt either rushed or entirely too slow. The FBI decides to put Clarice back on the Lector case. Also Hannibal's only surviving victim has a plan up his sleeves if he can ever get at him. In this Hannibal tale, Hannibal is living in Italy as Clarice deals with problems after a drug raid goes haywire. It wasn't to the degree of Silence, but it was there. There was a relative amount of tension all the way through. That's one reason why I have a hard time totally dismissing this film. Hans Zimmer delivers a great little score to bring out the tension that a movie with Lector in it deserves. Hannibal seemed incredibly goofy at times, while staying with the atmospheric seriousness of The Silence of the Lambs for the most part. I didn't necessarily expect a masterpiece, but I did expect a movie better than this one. It's not to say that I didn't get a fair amount of enjoyment from Scott's Hannibal, but I was unsatisfied nonetheless. Gary Oldman even appears, more or less, as the only surviving victim of Lector's. Hannibal is another Hannibal Lector film with Ridley Scott at the helm, Hopkins as Hannibal, and Julianne Moore as Clarice. ![]() ![]() This initially sounds like an amazing movie.
