	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"Lecter is such a huge presence at this point that he capsizes the picture's narrative"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[The characters] create an atmosphere that encourages style in the filmmaking. It is much the same with the best upper-class crime novels (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's more satisfying than the Lecter-at-large story of Hannibal, but the whole serial-killer thing is now very, very tired (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"A thoroughly entertaining, efficiently mounted thriller (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Nev Pierce BBC	"Hannibal Lecter gourmets may feel a long-digested movie is repeating on them, but if this really is your first time, savour the taste (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"An intense, unnerving experience. An outstanding cast (...) lends a classy veneer to this sure-fire commercial attraction."	POS
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"Norton is a strong lead in an overwrought, mediocre film"	NEU
