This film is among my favorites - not because of the violence (I typically do not watch violent films) but because of the acting, directing, editing, and screenplay. All of those components make this film a superb thriller, not to mention it was filmed in nearby Pittsburgh. The bonus DVD is a pleasant surprise and a must for those who are interesting in the making of a film. Jodi Foster provides insight into her character, into the filming process, and also the manner in which she won the roll. We hear from Anthony Hopkins, and all of the other actors who had major rolls in the film (including Buffalo Bill). Every time I watch this film, I notice something important that I did not notice before. It is a MUST for any film collector.
