Review: I came into Manhunter as a fan of Michael Mann rather than a fan of the series of novels by Thomas Harris that centred around serial killer, Hannibal Lector.

What often strikes me about Heat (a film in my personal top ten) is the colour palette on display and that was perhaps developed in one of his earlier features such as Manhunter . Each frame is visually striking - placing the Graham family scenes in a dreamlike blue, shots with 'The Tooth Fairy' in a sickly green and FB
