It's been discussed before, but Brian Cox absolutely knocked it out of the park in 1986 in Manhunter (from the novel, Red Dragon) as Lecter.

I dont see Hannibal right there....looks like Brian Cox saying lines Hannibal would say.


I am beginning to think Hugh Dancy and Madds Mikkelson are the best two potrayers of those two roles.

Manhunter is awesome. Great movie, great acting, awesome 80s soundtrack.

I've never seen it, but I have been meaning to, and will soon. Especially considering Bryan Cox is in it.

I like it a lot more than Red Dragon but it is definitely heavily 80s style.

Red Dragon has better actors but that doesn't necessarily mean better acting. Manhunter has more style and atmosphere. Top notch Mann direction.

Can't agree. Saw it in the theatrical release, and it was actually Cox's first big break in America. He was the guy who really made the biggest impact in the movie, along with Tom Noonan as Dollarhyde (creepier than Ralph Feinnes).

Glad to see this getting some play.

I was mauled on here when I suggested that I preferred Cox's performance to Hopkins. I found Cox far more terrifying.

yea, he comes off as more insane and willing to kill whereas lector's vocabulary, speech tones, etc come off a little more humorous

I love SotL and Red Dragon, but Manhunter is just superb

He's a staggeringly underrated actor. Think of how good he was, and yet how different the roles are in Manhunter and Super Troopers. And those are just 2 examples off the top of my head.

Cox v McShane in Kings was absolutely epic.
