Red Dragon
An FBI agent needs help tracking down a serial killer, so he envokes the help of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a man who tried to kill him years earlier. This movie had great acting which is to be expected from an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes and Harvey Keitel. The story was pretty good too, and even threw me for a loop or two, which isn't an easy thing to do. I wasn't actually expecting a lot form this sequel to Silence of the Lambs, which might be why it was above my expectations. 4 out of 5.
