Oh, get in, this is on ITV1 as we speak. Forgotten all about this until now. By far and away the best adaptation of any of the Hannibal Lecter (he's "Lecktor" in this one) novel-cum-screenplays.

Yeah, Brian Cox plays him with a real world-weariness. That he seems so mundane is much more chilling than Hopkins and his stupid slurping noises.

Oh man. I love Manhunter. A complete classic. Michael Mann's mise-en-scene is exquisite - the trademark rich saturated colours, the all-white scenes, the night scenes, it's incredible to look at.

I've always thought Cox's Lecter was the best. I know it's in the story/script, but the trick with the phone and the foil is done so brilliantly and subtly that it really conveys the real-world scariness of the character, rather than just as an icon or a presence. It's almost as if he could have escaped at any moment ...if he really wanted to.
Very underrated actor, of course.

Can any US cousins vouch for Brian Cox's American accent?
