Having seen the later film of the same book, Red Dragon with its all-star cast was one of my favorite films, I did not have high expectations for this film. But not only does Manhunter reach the same cinematic level as the 2000s version, it far surpasses it! The 2002 version does include iconic performance by Anthony Hopkins of Lecter, whose character was far expanded for that movie, and a few good performances by other stars, but in this movie all actors deliver, particularly Dennis Farina and William Petersen. The one that truly stands out is Tom Noonan's Francis Dollarhyde. The film itself, as a whole, is a solid piece of gold which I only regret I never saw before now. The soundtrack of this film is impeccable with the few key songs that are perfect for their scenes.

The great thing is that, compared to the other Hannibal Lecter films, it's pretty unique. The con would have to be how much the story was a bit rushed. The highlights of this movie are definitely William Petersen and Brian Cox.
