Though it will always be remembered as the movie featuring the "other" Hannibal Lecter, Michael Mann's 1986 thriller Manhunter is nearly as good as The Silence of the Lambs, and in some respects it's ...( read more

June 10, 2009How many times have we heard "The film isn't as good as the book"? Let's face it. What film IS?! Red Dragon was a masterpiece and so is Manhunter.
To appreciate that there are two issues. Firstly, the film was created in 1986. It's stylised and looks slightly dated. The soundtra...( read more) -
May 13, 2009This being my personal favorite of the entire franchise, with Silence of The Lambs as a close second. Mostly because I watched this about a year or so before Silence was released in theaters. I knew I was in for a great thriller from the opening scene.

I think I only ever saw it the one time.
Must take another look. -
December 10, 2009Terrific Directing By Mann. Some Of The 80's Music Cues Seem Out Of Place And Annoying At Parts But The Whole Of The Film Makes You See Past It. Cox Is Pretty Good As Lecktor And Peterson Is Pretty Good As Well But He Has His Moments Where It Makes You Cringe At How Badly He Is A...( read more)
