And I think the "That's my girl" referenced her moral conviction, not a tendency towards violence from the "woman FBI agent who's killed the most people".

The movie also fell a bit short of describing Hannibal's victims. In the book, without fail, they are all bad people, and one gets the impression that if Lecter can't fix them, he is OK with dispensing with them. Far more than "rude", they are amoral and predatory in their own sense. Thus they fall victim to the ultimate predator, which sets the constant flux between cat and mouse that is the whole movie.
