Red Dragon far surpasses Manhunter in just about every aspect of film. However, you can't look past the fact that Manhunter was the original prequel to Silence of the Lambs. But, that is the only thing that the movie has going for it. Brian Cox sucks as Hannibal the movie was edited terribly. At the end, a cop gets shot with a Shotgun and you can see the string that is pulling her away from the door. Red Dragon worked because it was made in the present time period. The acting was great, and the fact that Anthony Hopkins is and always will be Hannibal Lector.
