When Hannibal makes his first kill, you see in a far off shot that he walks several steps from his victim. In the next shot, he spins and chops off the guys head and is suddenly relatively close to the victim. See more »

When I read the chapter in the book HANNIBAL and it mentioned this single event with Hannibal and his sister I was thinking, "oh what a wonderful movie that would be". Even as an indie guy I wished that I could get the rights to do it. I was overjoyed when I saw this film as it was everything I wanted it to be. The actor, though doesn't quit look like a younger Hopkins sure as heck had his mannerisms down! Wonderful movie, well done and really captured all three of the previous Hannibal movies. The music, cinematography, and the complexity of each of the characters were very well done. Truly enjoyable an cant wait to add it to my Hannibal collection!
