Excellent movie! It should be a real redeemer for those who didn't like Hannibal (although I'd give Hannibal a "9.") This was even better.
At some parts, I was able to predict what would happen, but then with another twist and turn, I'd be surprised again.
Ralph Finnes will give me nightmares. He can really play creepy. He was nearly (but not quite) as scary as Lecter was.
And then, Edward Norton, it goes without saying that he's always fantastic in everything he's in (barring, "Everyone Says I Love You.")
Phillip Seymour Hoffman gave another fine performance, I couldn't help but appreciate his resemblance to the National Enquirer's Mike Walker.
Like Hannibal, this may be sized up with Silence of the Lambs and miss out on awards, ...I suggest you compare it to all the other movies you've seen over the past year or two... it's up there with the best of them. I give it a "10."
(I also appreciated quite a few references to Silence of the Lambs, I found more of them than just a conversation at the end of the movie.)
