An inferior re-hash of Michael Mann‘s Manhunter, which was released in 1986 […]. Red Dragon is done in a painfully mechanical, by-the-book manner. Scenes are assembled to move the plot from point A to point B. There’s no atmosphere. No tension. Flat performances […]. With a cast like this, Red Dragon should have been spectacular, not mediocre. Like most motion pictures whose sole reason for existing is the almighty dollar, Red Dragon is poorly conceived and poorly executed. — James Berardinelli

There is nothing new here. — Nix
