I have to say it is such a great and witty film. Hopkins really made me smile when he said those very intelligent and challenging lines to the rookie FBI agent played by the 30 something Jodie Foster. The movie was full of twists and turns, and at points you didn't know what to expect. I think Jodie Foster was really able to pull off the naive FBI agent really well. Hopkins did a really good job at being very emotive yet reserved serial killer, and it made me laugh when Lector made the slurping sound at the beginning of the movie. Also the Buffalo Bill killer was a very eccentric person to be portrayed, and made the movie very interesting.
