A CANNIBAL, A BOND VILLAIN, AND THE JOKER
 |
| Three imprisoned villains with an eerily patient gaze |
So let's take a look at three cinematic jailbirds that (at one point) dressed as a cop or guard: Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS), The Joker and Silva: each with a sinister smiley gaze within "escape-proof" confides....
But this reviewer does realize that Silva, like The Joker, did in fact disguise himself before being locked up. Either way it'd be hard for a current action flick to not borrow from Christopher Nolan: after all, he undeniably set a brand new stage for the edgy modern-day "complicated thriller."
