Hannibal

The silence has been broken...Screen legend Anthony Hopkins ("The Lion in WInter") is perverse perfection in his return to the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the sophisticated killer who comes out of hiding to draw FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore, "Carrie") into a high-stakes battle that will test her strength, cunning...and loyalty. Meanwhile, the good doctor’s only surviving victim, Mason Verger (Gary Oldman, "Sid and Nancy"), plots a particularly nasty revenge. Drenched in baroque terror and hair-raising visuals, "Hannibal" is as compelling as it is shocking. Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott ("Thelma and Louise") served up this smash-hit thriller from a screenplay by David Mamet ("American Buffalo") and Steven Zaillian ("The Falcon and the Snowman"), based on the bestselling novel by Thomas Harris ("Red Dragon"). Ray Liotta ("Unforgettable") and Giancarlo Giannini ("Quantum of Solace") round out the utterly delectable cast.
