Manhunter (1986) - The rarely talked about neo-noir masterpiece from Michael Mann.

My girlfriend and I watched this last night and were blown away. It's like the original, authentic template of all the post-Drive, synthwave, aesthetic, vaporwave worship swirling around now-a-days.

• Killer synth-driven score and soundtrack.
• Beautifully composed shots.
• Great performances (Tom Noonan in particular gives a stellar serial killer performance that is right up there with Levine as Buffalo Bill).
• Lighting and set decoration are phenomenal.

I'm a pretty geeky film guy and am surprised this film has never made it on to my radar and isn't discussed more. If you're looking for a mid-80s neo noir thriller drenched in synth, sunsets and violence then give this bad boy a rent ASAP.
