Manhunter (1986)

Why was Will Graham such a Chad in this, especially when compared to the other portrayals of him?

Because William Petersen is an actually good actor

Dude was KINO back in the day.

Live and Die in LA is top notch.

I love this scene

It's so satisfying when that music kicks in and he finally figures out the killer has seen the tapes too from his job.

He was the first Ryan Gosling before Ryan Gosling

This. The tv show Hannibal portrayal of Will makes me cringe.

Petersen is a much better actor than Goose (and I say this as someone who likes Goose). He can actually convey real emotions on screen.

The director likes strong, grey haired men. Basically his entire filmography.

>heartbeat heartbeat listen to my heartbeat wah uhh heartbeat

petersen plays graham like he could really snap at any moment from his "making his mind work like a killer's" talent. neither norton nor dancy did that (though dancy did other things because they changed the character so much)

I went back and read all the books and i gotta say red dragon was stupid and contrived at best

He overacts the whole movie.

Norton was so weak in Red Dragon that I had to stop and ask myself if that was the same dude who delivered such a convincing performance in American History X, also spot-on with Petersen's strength (hell he actually throws Freddy onto a fucking car windshield).

Not really. He's pretty much just reprising his To Live and Die in LA character in this. I love the character so I'm not complaining.

because michael mann is a very good director

All of Mann’s protagonists are chads because they rub off on him.

I'd say he's more unhinged in LA since he straight up steals evidence and gets an undercover agent killed, similar in some ways but he has more of a moral compass still in him in Manhunter since he has a family to protect.

yeah, that was some miscasting there

Poor direction from Brett Rattner didn't help either. He was grossly unqualified to direct a movie like that.

Superior acting.

t. autist who never has any expression unless death awaits or a woman is present

I'm glad his career is dead, such a mediocre director.
