Plot |
A man referred to as Buffalo Bill (Levine) is going around killing young women. The FBI sends a young trainee (Foster) to interview a psychopath (Hopkins) to try to gain some clues. The next two hours consist of two things; a cat-and-chase movie with the FBI trying to catch the killer before he kills a Senator's daughter and Hopkins doing what he does best.
|
Pros |
This movie didn't win five Academy Awards because it wasn't any good (both Hopkins and Foster were winners). Hopkins' performance is one of the most memorable ones in movie history; Levine plays a really sick killer; and Dr. Chilton (Heald) may actually be the biggest creep in the movie. I loved the ending, I wished it could have lasted a little longer; I would have liked to have seen what we all know happened. |
Cons |
This movie certainly earned its R rating; not for those who are squeamish or for young children. |
