Manhunter
FBI Agent Will Graham, who retired after catching Hannibal Lecktor, returns to duty to engage in a risky cat-and-mouse game with Lecktor to capture a new killer.
Critics Sentiment
Graham and police storm Dollarhyde's house for final confrontation
Graham organizes derogatory interview with tabloid journalist Lounds
The film jumps from the weaker Lounds interview setup to the shocking and memorable sequence of Lounds being burned alive.
Manhunter builds steadily from its atmospheric opening through increasingly intense psychological profiling sequences. The film peaks with visceral moments like the Lounds murder and climactic confrontation, though some procedural elements and the ending received more mixed reception.
