Replacing the acclaimed Manhunter as an "official" entry in the Hannibal Lecter trilogy, this topnotch thriller--the second adaptation of Thomas Harris's first Lecter novel--returns to the fertile soil of The Silence of the Lambs, serving as both prequel and heir to the legacy of Lecter as portrayed, with mischievous menace, by the great Anthony Hopkins. Familiar faces and locations reappear (along with Lambs screenwriter Ted Tally) as Lecter coaches FBI profiler Will Graham (Edward Norton) in tracking the horrific "Tooth Fairy" killer (Ralph Fiennes), whose transformative killing spree is inspired by a William Blake painting. By dutifully serving Harris's potent material, Tally and director Brett Ratner craft a suspenseful film worthy of its predecessors, bringing Hopkins full circle as one of the cinema's all-time greatest villains. With overtones of Psycho and a superb supporting cast, Red Dragon succeeds against considerable odds. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - an underrated movie!this is by far, one of the BEST performances from Edward Norton. Anthony Hopkins is AMAZING as Hannibal Lector as usual. no one can do the part except him! "Manhunter" was good, but this movie is closest to the book and brings back the frnachise to its "Silence of the Lambs" feel. Edward Norton delivers a gripping and powerful performance as FBI agent Will Graham as he hunts a dangerous serial killer known as the "Red Dragon." and nicknamed "the Tooth fairy". HIGHLY recommend this movie. if ... Read More Rating: - I wouldn't say this... if I didn't have lips."Red Dragon", the movie, is truly delicious. It stays true to the brilliant Thomas Harris novel of the same name. I can't help but chortle with wild, almost maniacal glee as I write this review! "Red Dragon" is my favorite of the three Harris novels. The primary reason the story is so thrilling is because of our fascination with the larger-than-life and yet largely believable character that Harris created in Hannibal Lecter. Lecter's brilliance borders on the ... Read More Rating: - A good Bret Ratner movie. Who knew?The original interpretation of Red Dragon was entitled Manhunter. It is typical Michael Mann fare from the 80's. Lots of music video moments with people staring off into space while rock n' roll plays in the background. It's just okay. But this film, Bret Ratner's Red Dragon, is something more. The novel on which it is based is very detailed in its descriptions of the killer's activities as well as those of Hannibal Lector. Moreover, the techniques used to hunt him down are described with equal ... Read More Rating: - Red DragonAnother fine example of Hannible the Cannible. Nice suspensful pace that keeps you rivited. Rating: - More Thomas Harris thrills...Enjoyable movie. Not scary like "Silence" or bloody like "Hannibal". This is a good detective, story, with great acting, interesting plot. The only people who didn't like this film were die-hard, "manhunter" fans, but who cares about them, that movie flopped until "Silence" came out. Where were the die-hards before that? No where to be found, that's why that film sat on a shelf collecting dust. |
