About

If you want a tense serial-killer procedural with memorable villain presence, Red Dragon may hit the mark; Not for you if you want a purely psychological take like Hannibal or a grittier alternative such as Manhunter.

Pros: tense serial-killer thriller; strong villain energy; gripping performances | Cons: feels procedural; dialogue can falter; not as intense
