do yourself a favor and see Manhunter, the Red Dragon adaptation made before all of the others by Michael Mann ..
Far superior to anything since..

Manhunter kicked all kinds of ass.Tom Noonan was a truly disturbing psycho.Will Peterson was also great as Will Graham.I hoped that they would choose Ed Norton if they ever remade Manhunter and he was as good as I expected. I didnt care for Fiens though I would have chosen Clancy Brown or Ron Perelman.

i'd have to disagree with those choices .. they are too well known and too cliched for villians.

the origional dollarhyde was great in part because we didnt know him form anything else.
Typecasting takes away from a genre film...
Its more interesting seeing someone playing against type.


Useless but interesting trivia :

do you guys know that Clancy Brown provides the voice of Mr Crabs in Spongebob Squarepants ?
