Movie Haiku:Remake of MANHUNTER that opts for blood & gore, explosions & special effects, diluting the extraordinary menace of Mann’s original. It’s OK if you don’t know the original. Definitely better than the muddled, campy HANNIBAL, but nowhere near LAMBS. Lecter’s great in the background, but the plot creaks around him.
