Ted Talley did a great job of writing a screenplay from the novel by Thomas Harris.
Ed Norton is once again a very likeable man. There are similarities between Silence and Dragon. But there is enough suspense in Dragon to keep you from dwelling on the similarities. FBI agent Will Graham, played flawlessly by Edward Norton is shown taking down the notorious Hannibal the Cannibal in the beginning of the movie. From there you fast forward a few years and it is Graham coming out of retirement. His character is very convincing as he methodically closes in on the Tooth Fairy. This movie appears to be the product of a formula used before. However it is worth a look. After seeing this movie you will hope the Tooth Fairy never comes for a visit!
