Manhunter ***
(First Viewing)

An FBI specialist tracks a serial killer who appears to select his victims at random.

I still prefer Red Dragon over this. It had a better cast, explained the characters/storyline more and in greater depth and the movie seemed darker. I didn't like how the film ended and also Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (yes Lecter with a K & O) was hardly in the film. Anthony Hopkins was much better than Brian Cox in that role, although Brian wasn't horrible. William Petersen did a good job as Will Graham but again I prefer Edward Norton. My favorite character out of this film was probably Dennis Farina as Jack Crawford. Don't get my wrong I still enjoyed this movie (as can be seen by the 3-star rating), but between the 2, I don't think this holds a candle to Brett Ratner's (director of X-Men: The Last Stand) version, Red Dragon.
