It's comparison time....
The one thing that drove me to watch this film...apart from it being a recommendation....apart from myself being a Michael Mann fan"man" ( cos I ain't young anymore) was the pure thrill of watching a character we all know and love, on screen...again
Now, maybe watching SotL the first was a mistake because as the quote goes "Comparison is the thief of Joy".
So..Lecktor or Lecter is a highly twisted Shelock-ish persona...with a sociopathic disdain for average…
