I feel like there's a better movie trapped inside this one, but even the Italian scenery didn't wow me.  Still, worth a watch I think.  James D'Arcy wrote and directed.

Yes, I disliked this even more than the TV show, since it's actually sleazier and more racist, in particular against Mexicans.  It's saved from an F+ because the dogs are scared away rather than shot.  And, yes, I think Neeson is miscast as Hannibal, but then I associate him with Aslan and Kinsey.  Joe Carnahan directed.
