The story is based on the novel "Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris, this particular Michael Mann production came out in 1986. A good film, in the sense of quality film-making goes, as Michael Mann is certainly known for. This original film version provides an entirely different movie experience than the modern Red Dragon w/ Edward Norton and Anthony Hopkins does. The story follows our FBI hero Will Graham (well done by William Petersen of CSI fame) after he's helped to capture the diabolical Dr. Lecter (played by Brian Cox of X-Men 2). Now Graham must come out of retirement to pursue a new killer, "The Tooth Fairy", as he is forced to confront the fears of his own past. A somewhat slower-paced story at times that relies on keen cinematography to tell it's tale. You know what you're in for as it's a Michael Mann piece from '86; the Miami Vice-style music, the tough-cop dialogue and Mann-style filmmaking is all in there. The CSI-style intrigue and unexpected surprizes that unfold in this movie are worthwhile. If you can catch this one on the cheap it's certainly a noteworthy distraction.
