Red Dragon
2002
**½
Director: Brett Ratner
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson
This prequel to The Silence of the Lambs (and remake of Michael Mann's Manhunter) is a predictable and cliché-ridden story of an FBI agent who consults Hannibal Lecter in order to track down a serial killer. How did Thomas Harris get away with writing the same story twice? An unbelievable cast, but to no avail.
