Review of The Manchurian Candidate (1962) by Kim B — 12 Oct 2017
Movie was awful. I dont know how it got such high ratings. The plot was so implausible (hypnotizing to kill, snake scene that was so medically unfounded, girl forgives him after he has disowned her family for over two years) and the acting so wooden or overdramatic especially Frank Sinatra.
It was so melodramatic and shallow I found myself laughing at serious scenes. The movie was boring with stereotypical villains of the Russian and Chinese communist sort. A corny political thriller thats horrible aged and horribly overrated.
