It's a Good Rendention of the Book

Unfortunately it run up against the stellar performances and movie Silence of the Lambs and the other version of this story done under the title Manhunter. I think we all would have seen it a bit differently if it had run in the order of the novels. Very good movie, though. It did over do the Hannibal part for Hollywood's sake. I still wonder if the scene in Hannibal where he eats the agents brain was a litterary joke regarding Thomas Harris's brains being eaten by the Hollywood establishment. He's a great author but got sucked into the Hollywood machine. But then, I'd probably go for the millions, too.
