Critic Reviews

Audiences will be excused for any feelings of déjà vu the new film might inspire. That won't prevent them from watching it in rapt, anxious silence, however, as the gruesome crimes, twisted psychology and deterministic dread that lie at the heart of Harris' work are laid out with care and skill.Full Review

Todd McCarthy
Variety

To my surprise, Ratner does a sure, stylish job, appreciating the droll humor of Lecter's predicament, creating a depraved new villain in the Tooth Fairy (Ralph Fiennes), and using the quiet, intense skills of Norton to create a character whose old fears feed into his new ones. There is also humor, of the uneasy he-can't-get-away-with-this variety, in the character of a nosy scandal-sheet reporter (Philip Seymour Hoffman).Full Review

As Hopkins's Lecter is concerned, it's official: He's Freddy Krueger.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

A thriller made from a completist's checklist rather than with a cultist's passion.Full Review

Red Dragon is merely the distant echoes of what we liked about "Lambs."Full Review
