Alright, I have had enough of this. Dino DeLaurence and his ilk are milking this for all its worth and this latest offering proves that Thomas Harris got lucky with the character of Lechter and his attempts to make him into some kind of cult hero have failed miserably. I thought the dreadful "Hanibal" was pretty much the end of it but now they came up with this muck. Lets be clear, "Silence of the Lambs" and "Manhunter" were top notch films but the rest (maybe "Red Dragon" as an exception) were dire. This movie was basically a "Death Wish" remake and the script was terrible. The acting was poor and nobody emerged from this attempt to cash in on the first two movies fails in all levels except one. The war scenes at the start were accurate in uniform and tanks but for those who like this sort of movie this won't mean much. I once saw an interview with Dino DeLaurence and his daughter saying that this movie would go on and on. I have one message to him and his daughter, Stop it, stop it at once. The series is dead now move on. As for Thomas Harris, he must take full blame for the dire fare served up in the two sequels and he can't blame a poor script as he wrote it himself. 3/10 for the war sequence.
