Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Although there are some strange ways of writing 'yeah' in dialogue

Clever, tense, and thrilling, but just a hair shy of how good the movie is. Sometimes the pace is too fast, but it really is heart-pounding and engrossing from the beginning. I love a genius villain and Dr. Lecter is definitely that!
