Day 219 - Manhunter (American)


The film's poster. Petersen's face is in silhouette at the top, along with the tagline "It's just you and me now, sport". Below this is a silhouette of Noonan standing in a doorway with a flash-light. The film's title is along the bottom in orange lettering.
 
"Will Graham (William Petersen) is a former FBI criminal profiler who has retired because of a breakdown after being attacked by a cannibalistic serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox). Graham is approached at his Florida home by his former FBI superior Jack Crawford (Dennis Farina), who is seeking help with a new serial killer case. Promising his wife (Kim Greist) that he will do nothing more than examine evidence and not risk physical harm, Graham agrees to visit the most recent crime scene in Atlanta, where he tries to enter the mindset of the killer, now dubbed the "Tooth Fairy" by the police for the bite-marks left on his victims."
 
 
I didn't like it that much, it was kind of stale without that many worthy scenes. Hannibal Lector should of had a bigger part in the film, even though Brian Cox's adaption of the character is far below Anthony Hopkin's portrayal of the notorious killer.  I kind of didn't like the fact that the main character was William Petersen. Whoever picked the cast didn't know how to do their job well or was new to the job. Everyone was boring in the film, thankfully Red Dragon would be a slightly better movie than this one.
