Will Graham is retired FBI agent after finding out who thinks, could be the cannibal. After getting attacked by Hannibal he the retires and moves on. Years later the FBI contacts him when a new killer appears called, The Tooth Fairy, he decides to help them, and when doing so, he goes to Hannibal to seek advice on who The Tooth Fairy is.
Set 10 years before the events of Silence of the Lambs, when Hannibal is still working for the FBI. This movie made for one pretty epic prequel.
As like before, Hannibal is still in his cell, offering the FBI his help, in exchange for what ever. Red Dragon has a pretty good list of cast members, another reason I wanted to watch it.
Edward Norton ( Will Graham )
Ralph Fiennes ( Francis Dolarhyde )
Anthony Hopkins ( Hannibal Lecter )
Harvey Keitel ( Jack Crawford )
We got to see a very good performance from Ralph Fiennes as well from Edward Norton. Story line was very strong and just amazing. Made me glued till the credits. Didn't actually think it was going to be this good, and was blown away. Music like before was pretty good to, though one scene was kind of over kill, but, was just one scene.
Since this is a prequel, we didn't see Agent Starling, which is fine, but the movie ended with Hannibal asking who the women's agent name is, which was a dead give away to the first one.
There is another movie called, Manhunter, which is based on the novel Red Dragon, which came out before Silence of the Lambs, another reason why I thought this was a remake, but it's not. Since I reviewed this one, there is no need for a review on Manhunter, since it will be the same story, just older and different actors. I may watch it though, to compare.
I give, Red Dragon. 9/10
