Manhunter
Ive been waiting a long time to watch this film, and by God was it worth the wait. This is a film that has many great elements converging together, and there are very few weak parts. The performances are what really elevate the film though, William Patterson is phenominal, as is Brian Cox and the rest of the supporting cast. Though I still think I prefer Hopkins as Hannibal, Cox did a great job as the first person to breath life into the classic serial killer. I was also very impressed with Tom Noonan as Dollarhyde, made the character very convincing and almost pitiful. Great performance. The plot had some very nice and unexpected twists, especially near the end. Speaking of near the end, the use of Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was incredible. I will never hear the song the same way again. To some up, I say check this out if you want to see some great acting, hear some great music, and experiance a side of the story that Red Dragon neglected.
8/10
