It casts French actor Gaspard Ulliel as an annoyingly smug Lecter who seems to try to hard to balance creepy with what I suspect is supposed to be intelligence. He's terrible. Just terrible. It's got an impressive supporting cast who are all put to complete waste with this snail-paced script that doesn't even attempt to do anything remotely interesting.
It picked up some well-deserved Golden Razzie nominations but ultimately lost to the much more entertaining I Know Who Killed Me and Daddy Day Camp.

Gong Li can be a great in her native language but she needs to fire whoever is responsible for getting her American roles. They ought to play to her strengths, not put her in generic crap.
The entire supporting cast are almost always good but whenever their agents get them a mainstream film it's usually pretty shitty.
