Featured review
Under rated film of its genre
I agree with all of the reviews that I read. I, too, feel that Brian Cox was far more convincing and the whole film being color bare forces us to pay attention to the actors. The music, most of which I already heard, was so compelling that I bought the soundtrack. Of course, Will Peterson is outstanding. I couldn't wait to watch CSI when I found out he was cast as the lead. I always tell people who say they liked Red Dragon to watch Manhunter, then tell me which do they like best. Manhunter, naturally.
