    GREAT MOVIE - LOVE TOM NOONAN'S PORTRAYAL

    by Tigresmoon

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I WAS HELD IN AWE OF THE ACTOR TOM NOONAN WHO PLAYED THE "TOOTH FAIRY". EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMED TO ME TO BE A SMALLER PART, TOM NOONAN'S ABILITY TO EXPRESS DEEP MULTIPLE EMOTIONS WITHIN THE TIME HIS CHARACTER WAS ON SCREEN WAS DONE SPLENDIDLY. IT MAKES YOU" FEEL FOR THE POOR GUY" IN A SENSE. REALLY A WELL DONE INTENSE LOOK INSIDE THE MIND OF A KILLER.

    Manhunter

    by

    While Manhunter's styles visuals and action are striking enough, it's seeing the origins of the modern police procedural drama that make it all the more impressive after 25+ years. Its combination of surreal images an documentary like realism in its detail, makes it the kind of film that created formulas, not adhere to them.
