Review of The Manchurian Candidate (2004) by Todd Mccarthy for Variety — 27 Apr 2015
Structurally and thematically similar to John Frankenheimer's original but entirely different in style, feel and nuance, this political thriller about a brainwashed soldier being positioned for the White House provides a delectable network of dramatic tripwires that teases the mind and quickens the pulse.
This is brainy popcorn fare.
