''Manhunter'' in my opinion is far superior to any of the other Lecktor adaptions that came later .Peterson was just right for the Graham part , looking the right age and prjecting a man at odds with his profession .As for Brian Cox his portrayal of Hannibal Lecktor is the best , arrogant , manipulative , damaged and insecure , the interaction between him and Graham was titilating . I wished there was much more of it .Tom Noonan as Frances was also well casted , tall and different looking , he projected the outcast perfectly . A great film that still stands up.
