No offense to those that liked it, but I thought Manhunter was awful. True, i saw it long after i had seen red dragon, but I was really surprised to find out it was Michael Mann's movie. Heat is one of my all time favorites, but Manhunter seemed like a Glen Campbell video with a serial killer.
The other hting is that the guy who played the killer was Kaine from robocop 2, and i have never been able to take him seriously.
I liked Ralph Fiennes as the killer. I never realised how HUGE he could be. He was really intimidating, which is something because i'm a pretty big guy so that usually doesnt mean much to me.
I love Brian Cox, but Hopkins IS Hannibal lector. And when Edward Norton plays a part, that is his part. no one else can match him.
