Red Dragon
Universal Pictures
Starring Edward Norton, Ralph
Fiennes & Anthony Hopkins
Red Dragon, based on the book by Thomas Harris, is an intelli
gent thriller which will leave viewers sleeping with the lights on.
The movie was marketed as a prequel to Silence of the Lambs.
However, the story is not about Hannibal Lecter, although he does
figure into the narrative.
Red Dragon follows the attempts of FBI agent Will Graham
(Norton) to track down psychopath Francis Dolarhyde (Fiennes).
Incidentally, Graham is the FBI agent who put Hannibal Lecter
(Hopkins) behind bars, which is made clear in the first scene of the
movie. Lecter reappears in the narrative when Graham, at a dead
end in his search, turns to Lecter for insight into the as yet unknown
criminal’s mind.
Fans of the Harris novel should thoroughly enjoy this on-tilm
rendition. Aside from a few minor discrepancies, the film is true to
the book. Large portions of the novel’s dialogue are even used ver
batim. which is a refreshing change from the butchering that often
takes place when adapting a book to film.
Red Dragon will also be a thrilling watch for those who know
absolutely nothing about the Hannibal Lecter trilogy. The imagery
is haunting, the story line flows smoothly and the acting is excel
lent. Hannibal Lecter, as always, is more than sufficiently creepy.
The psychopath Francis Dolarhyde is convincing in his inner
battle between sanity and insanity, stemming from years of abuse at
the hands of his grandmother. At times, one almost feels sorry for
him. As Graham says at the end of the movie, “This man wasn't
born a monster. He was made one.”
Viewers should remember that Dolarhyde’s struggle is docu
mented in graphic detail. Even though Red Dragon is primarily a
psychological movie, there are a few gory murder scenes that are
not for the weak of heart.

The Good Girl
Fox Searchlight
Starring Jennifer Aniston, Jake
Gllenhaal & John C. Reilly
In what may be the most thought-provoking movie of the year,
The Good Girl, Jennifer Aniston brings her character, Justine,io
life in a way any woman, and possibly any man, can relate to,
Justine is stuck in a dead-end life with a dead-end job and a dead
end husband. Phil (Reilly). Working in the makeup department in
a small-town Texas drug store, Justine finds what she believestobe
her salvation in Holden (Gyllenhaal), a cashier at the drugstore
Holden, who is beset with emotional problems, opens Justines
mind to a world she never imagined existed.
Justine and Holden begin an affair in an effort to escape the
world that is holding them down. Justine is frustrated withherpot
head husband and their static relationship, and Holden cannot hatt
die living with his parents who are unable to understand him. 1m
relationship that is doomed to fail. Holden becomes obsessed with
Justine, who quickly begins to realize that she may not have beer,
prepared for what unfolds.
In a desperate attempt to turn his and Justine’s world around,
Holden steals $1().(KK) from the store that they work in and asks
Justine to run away with him. Faced with a decision that couldfot-
ever change her life, Justine has to choose between a monotonous
life and an uncertain future.
Although a wholly depressing movie. The Good Girl also
invokes a good deal of laughter. Despite Justine's inner struggle,
she is surrounded by humorous characters and in her attemptto
hide her affair, runs into many amusing situations. In one such
instance, to try to make herself feel better about her affair with
Holden, Justine accepts an invitation from one of her co-workers to
attend a church service. In an ironic twist of fate, Justine’s plan is
foiled when she runs into Holden and his mother, who arealsoat
the service. In a move that utterly confuses Justine’s husband,who
she literally dragged to the service. Justine suddenly beats abash
retreat, using the excuse that she has forgotten her Bible and feels
so horrible about it, she can not participate.

Any moviegoer who believes Aniston's acting abilities extenl
no farther than playing Rachel on “Friends” will be pleasantly
prised after seeing this movie. Aniston portrays her role in a way no
audience member can deny is brilliant and Gyllenhaal offsets her
character perfectly. Overall, a sad movie, but definitely worth it.
