It's weird dude.

This film is shot -- quite deliberately I'm sure -- as a surrealist nightmare.This film is often compared with "Silence of the Lambs", but it is not a good comparison. "Manhunter" is more focused on the FBI specialist who's trying to hunt down a psychopath it's less theatrical than "Silence" but just as visceral. You might think the plot is exactly the same... and, it is in a sense (substitute the main FBI agent, Will, for Clarise, for instance), but the direction and focus is very different. I found this far more unpleasant and real. Both are excellent movies, but this captures psychopathy more accurately.The scenes with Hannibal Lecter are clearly designed to be unpleasant, as are many other scenes. You can see Michael Mann's obsession with white throughout the film -- it's unsettling, in the way that an insane asylum would be.A brilliant film. But not a fun watch.

What a tremendous surprise.

Having finally seen MANHUNTER, I am left wondering why anyone ever felt the need to remake it - RED DRAGON is a fine flick, with a fine cast, but it feels exceptionally pale given what a tremendous source it was drawing from; scene for scene, line for line at some points.

So much threat, such a pervading sense of menace; the character work, and the direction, the wonderful soundtrack - it hums along, and there's no place to stop to catch your breath. I really adored this, and if you're looking for a really engrossing thriller, and I mean thriller, this movie delivers.
