Review of Manhunter (1986) by Anna B — 01 Jul 2012
Mann's direction is mostly good, but the '80s cheese is almost overwhelming. The music is distractingly awful, the ending ludicrous and Petersen's performance verging on comical (that scene in the tree where he starts yelling at nobody, ugh).
The remake is no masterpiece, but at least it doesn't have a power ballad playing over Francis Dolarhyde having sex. Really disappointing.
