It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Inside 'Manhunter' (2001) *** (out of 4)Actors William Petersen, Brian Cox, Joan Allen and Tom Noonan are interviewed in this 17 minute featurette that was on the original Anchor Bay release of MANHUNTER. Various subjects are covered including the casting, shooting the movie, working with director Michael Mann and the film's release. If you're a fan of MANHUNTER then you'll certainly enjoy hearing these stories, although at just seventeen minutes the featurette does feel a bit rushed. The highlight is the stuff dealing with Mann's intensity, which makes it sound like he was just a few notes shy of being like Stanley Kubrick. All four actors do a very good job telling their stories and they certainly come across very entertaining. It's also nice getting to hear the actors talk about the film after the success of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
