Plot:
Part three in the Hannibal Lecter Trilogy. Having escaped the asylum in "Silence of the Lambs," Dr Lecter goes into hiding in Florence, Italy. Back in America, Mason Verger, an old victim of the doctor's, seeks revenge. Disfigured and confined to a life-support system, he plans to draw Lecter out of his hiding place, using the one thing he truly cares for: Clarice Starling. IMDB

Review:
This is an okay movie. I don't think it is anything spectacular. :/
There are a few things with this movie that I don't really like. Especially parts concerning Lecter's obsessive lusting over Clarice. But luckily they cut out the worst of those parts, which are available on the DVD.

I don't think I'll be going out of my way to be seeing this movie again. Compared to the other Lecter movies, this one is a dud.
