Perhaps over-stylized at times, the film is nevertheless a slick, absorbing murder mystery with characters that are bound to lure audiences back for future episodes.

[Manhunter is] the year's most suspenseful film, the cinematic equivalent of a "good read."

Mann's visual aesthetic combined with the source material of Harris is a slick and tense package with its own unique boatload of frights.

While Manhunter is absorbing and sometimes tense, it's unfortunate that Mann dedided to direct the film with the stylistic overkill of his Miami Vice.
