Review of Manhunter (1986) by Mark W — 27 Jan 2008
Eh ++. Very 80's (case in point- omnipresent synthesizer soundtrack) Okay Since I've seen Red Dragon I will compare. Ed Norton destroyed William Petersen. Emily Watson and Joan Allen (who I both love) were comparable.
Joan Allen interpreted the character stronger than the more vulnerable Emily Watson. Brian Cox did a good Hannibal, different from creepy Anthony Hopkins he played it more menacing. Ralph Fiennes was much cooler than Tom Noonan but he was also given a lot more to do.
I expected to be more on edge but simply wasn't.
