I just saw it. I saw it at a private screening, So. Cal. connections. Great movie. The movie is great. Imagine Seven meets Norman Yates of Psycho. I would say it is the best movie I have seen this year. I was looking around at the end, and almost the entire crowd had their hands covering their mouths. No glamorization of the act like Hannibal but more of a fear/suspense/mystery/thriller. The directing is top-notch, kind of "Hitchcockish." Ed Norton loses his arrogant demeanor and suprisingly acts particularly well. Of coarse, Harvey Keitel is a gem as usual. Hopkins delivers a stunning performance. For those who are light-hearted, it is much tamer than Hannibal. No exposed brain meals.
