My opinion of Ed Norton drastically dropped after watching that film. His Will Graham was so weak and unimpressive.<br /><br />I know what you mean about Mann's current style. Very pixelly digital video, and very long run times. I thought Miami Vice though was a pretty good film.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-74432490200391074162012-08-10T12:53:10.198-07:002012-08-10T12:53:10.198-07:00Absolutely, the Theatrical Cut was very good nonet...Absolutely, the Theatrical Cut was very good nonetheless. <br />Just a great film all around.

I'm surprised he didn't make more of these kinds of films. I love To Live and Die in LA as well. He seems made for roles like these. <br /><br />And that finale, bloody fucking brilliant. I love how he uses whole songs too and doesn't cut it all up. But that choice of song was incredible. <br /><br />I like Silence of the Lambs a lot, mainly for Demme's interesting filmmaking choices. And Red Dragon didn't really leave an impression on me at all. This is by far my favorite Lecter film to date. I need to pick up that Directors Cut.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-54051096991296248872012-08-09T16:31:14.497-07:002012-08-09T16:31:14.497-07:00I have seen this, but that was some time ago...I a...I have seen this, but that was some time ago...I am about to watch a all-extra footage inserted version soon.

I like how he made the character calm for most of the movie but he just erupts in these angry outbursts now and then. Very similar to his character in To Live and Die in LA.<br /><br />The shoot-out at the end is brilliant shot. I love how Michael Mann just uses whole songs in his movies. The whole film has a great, tense atmosphere throughout.<br /><br />Far prefer this movie to any of the Hopkins/Lecter films. Really liked how Brian Cox underplayed the character. Not as scary as Hopkins but more devious. You get the sense he probably hid what he did for years whereas Hopkins always seemed so over-the-top.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
