Brian Cox is the high point of this movie
I would love to watch him escape like in the Silence of the Lambs and watch his Hannibal out of prison ...He's not Antony Hopkins ok but he's good can't deny it he would evolve in a sequel ...
shareI always preferred Cox portrayal of Lector.
Not taking anything away from Hopkins.
But I thought Cox portrayed quiet menace in a matter of 5 minutes of a screen time.
My yardstick on the longevity of the two different portrayals of the character is this...Hopkins portrayal has been parodied and ridiculed in movies and TV shows. Never happened with Cox.
