Best Hannibal Lecter (or Lecktor) film in the franchise IMHO

But as much as I'm tempted, the US release has better AV quality

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Yeah like the TV show 'Hannibal' it's based on Red Dragon characters and is mainly about the character of Will Graham (the TV show is excellent). I don't recall Brian Cox having a huge amount of screentime in Manhunter but he certainly made an impression.

Thanks haye

I always turned my nose up at the TV show because i didn't like the casting of Hannibal... Might have to give it a go now

 

[denizen]

Thats is why they made Red Dragon again to tie in with Silence. But I've never actually seen Manhunter before. Heard good things about it though.

 

[chunk]

This is great news, I'm in! I'm not really impressed with the artwork but it'll be good to upgrade my dvd and I hope they bring out red dragon and hannibal cause I've been waiting on them since silence got a steel.

LOVE the new prices

New?....

 

[UpsetSmiley]

I hate to be the one to always complain about the prices, but it's time Studio Canal wised up to the fact that £17.99 for a catalogue release title is not working in their favour. And this "Ultra Limited" hogwash is starting to grind my gears. 4000 copies and a cheaper price would suit me and possibly many others fine.

Is this film any good?

As in the very best of the Hannibal films and no mistake!!!

The film is brilliant from start to finish, and even though Lektor is hardly in the film, you feel his presence ALL the time, such is the power and menace of Brian Cox's performance which makes Anthony Hopkins Lektor look very camp and ineffectual.

This has my name ll over it . . .

Love the film, love the artwork

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Excellent film, day 1 for me. I can get a nice swifty €10 for my current amaray in my local CEX so I won't feel too much of the pain of a full price pre-order. Lovely artwork all round.

 

[stephenwilson04]

Very boring artwork (just like the dvd). Would have to be one of the posters (theatrical or vhs) to make me part with my money. Shame.

Sold Out already

Sold Out already

It hasn't gone live yet, so it's not sold out, Zavvi always has that it's sold out before it's available for order.

Temptation is a mother! I've never seen this but have always been impressed with Mann's films. I'd prefer the art if it had no text on the front, a la, Under the Skin.

I have always loved this film, and I personally can't wait for this one. It's so effective, and a masterpiece by Mann, imo.

Totally agree

 

[Scary Hair]

Is this based on the book Red Dragon?
Im sure people always compare this to The Silence of the Lambs but its actually Red Dragon...

Anyway, looks great... Aparently the performence of Hannibal from Brian Cox in this film is great and totally underrated due to Hopkins' performence in Jonathan Demme's film... Not seen it though so i can't comment

Brian Cox is fantastic but not in it a lot. I preferred the remake as I found the use of whire walls white staircases a little to much like Miami Vice.

@denizen and @Flash

Well worth a watch for a diffrent take on the franchise. A little long and see above . Cracking soundtrack though.

May be a order first cancel later for me .

Is this film any good?

Yes. If your into crime/thriller/mystery. Michael Mann nails the genre(s) with this. I would put it down as his second best film behind only 'Heat'.
