Waited a long time to watch this film, wasn't overly impressed. I think I had hyped it up way too much, but it was decent, just not as good as I had expected. However, Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster play their roles perfectly.

The Silence Of The Lambs This movie is a perfect study of tension. Hopkins portrayal of Lector is one of the best cinematic villains. Very graphic and vulgar, doesn't hold any stops. However there is some goofy scenes and heavy-handed foreshadowing. 9/10 #NicksMiniReview https://t.co/QMQRYYlNnd

I was expecting a masterpiece, instead I faced a movie a little bit over mediocrity, similarly to The Shawshank Redemption. Not engaging, usual themes of the serial killer and the various kidnappings, with many illogical passages and a predictable ending. Evil characters acted and were well portraited however, but I still fail to see why this film received the praise it got.
