Even for a fan of Italian cinema like me, "The Manhunt" is a very boring movie and a big letdown for fans of Umberto Lenzi.
Henry Silva is not really a good choice as a main character (he only has one facial expression), but the character he plays behaves so completely dumb, stupid and idiotic that it doesn't matter at all.
The film starts with a robbery, and a little girl gets shot without any apparent reason - probably the only reason is to get the revenge story going. Her father then starts the manhunt, but he is a complete moron and keeps on beating up random small time criminals, never even getting near the real murderers of his girl. At the End, he kills some drug dealers, who got nothing to do with the murder, because he thinks they are responsible for the death of his little girl. The police let him go anyway and make up a self defense story, because "the man has suffered enough"! Yeah,right. Stupid, boring and dull. There are definitely much better movies made by Umberto Lenzi.
