MOVIE REVIEW: RED DRAGON (2002) * * 1/2 (2 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
While this prequel to The Silence of the Lambs is a remake of the 1986 movie Manhunter. While more highly produced, and in many ways more disturbing than the 1986 version, it was not as thoughtful as the original, which was less of a horror film, and more of an intelligent mystery. I remember thinking that the deductions in the original (which I haven't seen since its theatrical release) were very clever. But in the new movie, the deductive leaps are so super-human, that it doesn't seem worthwhile to even bother trying to keep up.
This is The Official Record.
