Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Manhunt is a great addition to the Apple TV+ library, offering more than audiences may expect. The performances are solid, giving every scene an extra touch of gravitas. The story's A-plot focuses on the capture of John Wilkes Booth, but the B-story follows the systemic perils of implementing the Reconstruction Era.

Pros Cons Through the textured performances of Tobias Menzies and consistent directing from the likes of Carl Franklin , Manhunt is a must-watch for anyone interested in the subject. In the immediate aftermath of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, John Wilkes Booth flees the scene and an epic chase ensues. Though he gets away, his route to freedom is far from assured. At his heels is Secretary of War Edwin Stanton , who needs to find Booth and uncover the plot that led to Lincoln's death.

The Most Exciting Thing About Manhunt Is The Focus On Booth Getting inside the mind of a killer is one thing, but getting inside the mind of someone that history has never really had reason to try and understand is far more enticing. While his motives are diabolical at best, it is fascinating to see him as a man with real acting talent but with the personality of a schoolyard bully. Boyle portrays Booth as sleek and unhinged.

When he hears an audience member ask for an autograph, he pompously agrees. When he looks up to oblige, he realizes she was asking his co-star. In a later scene, Booth is stuck at the border with no way to cross. After he brags about killing Lincoln he is let through. This version of Booth is a renegade who is obsessed with his own myth-making. Menzies' take on Stanton is nuanced, but it is a little muddier in terms of performance versus historical accuracy.
