None of the performances in Red Dragon are better acted than here, the casting on this film was sublime. In particular, Tom Noonan's potrayal of Francis Dolarhyde was one of the greatest acting performances of all time; he made a psychotically deranged killer appear both disturbingly frightening and utterly pathetic both at the same time; that he could take such a despicable man and make him into a sympathetic character and a vulnerable human being is testament to that.

MANHUNTER is one of the all time great underrated masterpieces. On the surface, Demme's grubby, naturalistic, isolated environments as used in Silence of the Lambs is a much better fit for the Thomas Harris serial killer material, but somehow Mann's high gloss 1980s atmospheres work really well.

When I first saw Red Dragon, I couldn't quite figure it out...how on earth could the ridiculous Brett Ratner actually make a semi-watchable film? And yet it seemed vaguely familiar...that is, until I remembered that I had seen Manhunter as a kid. When I re-watched the movie, it all clicked; Red Dragon wasn't a good film, it was a mediocre remake of a great film, Manhunter. Sad that this film doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

kev3d no Red Dragon was a good film IMHO. It wasn’t as good as Manhunter, but it wasn’t trying to be as good as Manhunter. It does its own thing while still keeping the spirit of the original novel. Brett Ratner was not trying to one up Michael Mann.

They're completely different stylistically, so I think it's fruitless to try compare them. What I found fascinating about it is that in terms of faithfulness to the book, Manhunter got the first two thirds right, and Red Dragon got the end. It's always puzzled me why Michael Mann went to such lengths to be faithful to the book right up until the climax and resolution, which bear little resemblance to the novel's. Red Dragon, and in particular Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of Dolarhyde, were much more in keeping with the novel.

When I started watching Vegas CSI I saw some Characteristics in his character in Manhunter. Read a lot interviews from this actor, he is very blunt about the industry just like Gary Oldman, both are very sincere. Petterson didn't like the spin offs , not because it was against the other cast in crew but how the industry would ruined the series.
