I really did not enjoy HANNIBAL. In my opinion, it's a cliché masquerading as an "intelligent" film. I hate that! I blame David Mamet, who accidentally made one good film in his career.I found the "gross" scenes ridiculous. If you're so rushed that an amputation is necessary, do you really have time to pack lunch?Watch it if you must, but SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is a much better film.
