Ko no Mono

Just looking at the events portrayed in the plot, not a huge amount happens that is not unexpected (the final reveal particularly so). However, it is in the conversations between the likes of Lecter, Graham, Verger, Alana Bloom and Jack Crawford where some excellent foundations are laid and incredibly tense atmosphere generated. The mind games are compelling and the dialogue interesting.

Visually it is pretty spectacular, with so many beautifully designed and disturbing moments that are wonderfully filmed and edited.

All actors are on great for as always.

For me it's an 8.5/10, but I round upwards.
