  yeah, Manhunter doesn't even count. The book focused so much on the killer and Manhunter focused on the FBI guy. Oh yes, this is much better flick than Manhunter. Compared to Hannibal, this one is an action flick--which is not a bad thing . . . .

    "Manhunter" was a more cerebral film on the subject, and the subsequent "Silence of the Lambs"/"Hannibal" were more visceral,
    "thrill" flicks, with all of the bells and whistles designed to make you react and have a good ride, as it were.

    It's all about "approach".

    Michael Mann wanted you to care about the investigator and how Hannibal affected him...a decidedly "dull" turn by Mann on the story, and a typical Mann film, but not less diminishing, as an example of crime genre.

    Remember we are talking 1986, too...a whole audience generation away from where thrill films like these, now, are a dime a dozen, and Anthony Hopkins is more film compelling, than Tom Noonan's restrained, understated performance, was.

    Check out the 2DVD "Manhunter" set, if you can find it. Good movie. Give it a chance !

      Lambs to be very dull. The character development was very fluffy and inconsequential.

      The way the victims were selected in Man. wow scary! It could be anyone.

        to find someone who realizes REALLY scary is something we internalize. Come to think of it, so is something truly erotic...
