Manhunter
"You owe me awe."
Wowzers, I am not sure why I didn't appreciate this masterpiece the first time I saw this. Will Graham has PRESENCE from his bars to his fits. Tom Noonan plays a truly disturbing and believable pyschopath and Cox's Lecter works perfectly in this grounded take on Thomas Harris' work. Also this rivals heat on how well shot it is, jesus Mann knows his Blues.
Onto Silence of the Lambs next, hopefully It's just as good.
