Manhunter (1986)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 120m
Director: Michael Mann
Cast: William Petersen, Kim Greist, Joan Allen, Brian Cox, Dennis Farina, Tom Noonan (as the Toothfairy)
Synopsis:
An FBI agent has just recovered from a brush with the unspeakable Hannibal Lecktor when he is called upon to use his intuitive skills to catch a new serial killer who murders entire families. He is not helped by his former antagonist, who communicates with the 'Toothfairy' from his prison cell.
Review:
Sleek, slow to build psychological thriller, which features some annoyingly indistinct line delivery but holds a fascination for its unusual subject matter and visual/musical flair. The emphasis on procedure and objective mise en scène mark it out as superior to the main stream, and Petersen contributes a significant portrayal of intense unease.
