It's a real Classic, Brian Cox underplayed Lecter in comparison to Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkleson, also the Film came out prior to Silence of the Lambs so there's less material to play with (Lecter is more of a Cypher in the Book and Cox keeps it that way)

The only warning I would give is it's very 80s in look, you can see Michael Mann using pretty much the same Visual Style he built with Miami Vice.
