Review of The Manchurian Candidate (2004) by J. Hoberman for Village Voice — 15 Dec 2015
Demme, who works a clever permutation on the original ending, is more than capable of doing the thriller thing--even with material that will strike a good percentage of his audience as familiar. As an intelligent genre flick, the movie plays to his strengths.
His direction of actors has never been better.
