I can't say that I'm a fan of Jonathan Demme's style here..having characters stare straight into the camera for a scene.
Did I like it for Silence of the Lambs - yes..but it wasn't every scene..I felt like it was overdone in Manchurian. Lost its effect.

I agree, especially when you have strong actors delivering excellent performances. I don't need that wall broken.

Stop embarrassing yourself (and Americans) and learn to spell. Twatter-speak is not really welcome here.
