Logging

Film: Manhunter

Fell asleep about halfway through - late on Saturday night - not a dis to the movie - just the weekend. A thing to note about serial killer movies: as an audience, we all know the killer will eventually be caught. It is a given. Yet, the movies are still compelling. We pay attention to HOW he gets caught. I think this is a good reminder in not trying to be too fancy with screenwriting and not employing too many tricks and mcguffins...a few sly ones will do.
