Hannibal Rising

Mischa and Hannibal (Gaspard Ulliel), baby brother and sister, are inseparable; it is their love for each other that ties their bond. Their companionship is forever binding, until, with their family, while hiding from the Nazi war machine a twisted set of circumstance sets the pace for a most vicious attack on the future of one Hannibal Lecter for the sworn vengeance for the brutal killing of his baby sister. Years later, we find Hannibal, the teenager, setting up in Paris, and living with his aunt Lady Murasaki Shikibu (Li Gong) and studying at medical school here he finds his forte. Still searching for his sister's murderers, still bitter and still ever hopeful of satisfying his desire for retribution.

This movie started out a bit slow but once it got going i was enthralled till the very end. I really enjoyed the evil that comes out of this character Hannibal. Ulliel is perfect person for this role in that even without him speaking the look on his face takes your mind to every evil mankind can think up and then some. It had me wondering how messed up he really is to be able to think up the punishment he deals out. I'd have to say the character is very inventive in his destruction. If you see this movie and don't see the evil look and start to think than your not alive. I give this movie a 9 out of 10. Go see it and prepare to be disturbed and excited.
