Manhunter

Like most of the serial killer thrillers it’s said to vanguard, Manhunter smacks of gender. Our hardened hero is not just softened by his traumatic past, but broken by it, his manhood warped by the terror that now governs him.

Manhunter stands in awe of Will Graham’s mental acuity, but it also never fails to confront the danger of that mind—and doesn’t blink at the consequences to Graham’s personal life or his own stability.
