Red Dragon also has a wickedly excellent cast that
boast the likes of Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson
and Harvey Keitel.
Norton is Will Graham, the hero of the movie, and he is the
chap who caught Lecter - albeit copping a seriously nasty
knife in the guts for his efforts.
He has retired from profiling but is dragged back into the
FBI fold by Jack Crawford (Harvey Keitel) who needs his help
to solve the Tooth Fairy murders.
A lunatic is wiping out whole families and it needs Graham's
ability to stop it from happening again.
Fiennes is Francis Dolahyde, the tortured killer who is even
more nasty than the baddie of Silence, and he is utterly believable.
Almost as good is Emily Watson as a blind woman who falls,
unsuspectingly, for the Tooth Fairy.
Having watched Red Dragon twice, it is fair to say
that it was more enjoyable on second viewing and should be
appreciated by thos who liked Silence.
Both the video and sound transfers are first-rate.
Red Dragon is not quite up to the Silence of the
Lambs, but it is still a clever and entertaining manhunt.
Conclusion: 90% Extras: 85%.
