synopsis
Ex-FBI agent Will Graham is an expert investigator who quit the Bureau after almost losing his life in the process of capturing the elusive Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Years later, after a series of particularly grisly murders, Graham reluctantly agrees to come out of retirement and assist in the mysterious case. But he soon realizes that the best way to catch this killer, known as the Tooth Fairy, is to find a way to get inside the killer's mind. And the closest thing to that would be to probe the mind of another killer who is equally brilliant and twisted. For Graham, that means confronting his past and facing his former nemesis, the now-incarcerated Dr. Lecter.

October 3, 2002
Brett Ratner's Red Dragon -- as opposed to Michael Mann's 1986 Manhunter, which is based on the same novel -- delivers the goods in scary fun. It's minus the originality and inspiration, of course, but since when have recycled thrills ever hurt the box office? Mann minimized the character of Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Brian Cox), a mistake rectified by Jonathan Demme in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs, which won new Hannibal Anthony Hopkins an Oscar. Hopkins chowed down again in Ridley
An expert FBI investigator, who quits after nearly losing his life at the hands of a serial killer, is reluctantly brought back onto another grisly case. In order to find this killer, he has to return for help from the same madman who forced him into retirement. Story Taken from the pages of Thomas Harris' terrifying first novel in the trilogy, Red Dragon is certainly a twisted psychological encounter of the best kind. The pacing of the film is unstoppable, racing from one scene to the next in

The least nourishing of the Hannibal the Cannibal films takes up two discs. This remake of Michael Mann's 1986 Manhunter (rent that, it's much better) requires Anthony Hopkins to suck in his gut to play the young Hannibal as he helps an FBI agent (a surprisingly lazy Edward Norton) catch a serial killer (Ralph Fiennes). The extras define the word filler, especially the Director's Journey with Brett Ratner -- the auteur of Rush Hour and a Nic Cage turkey (The Family Man).
