Review of The Manchurian Candidate (2004) by Ben C — 22 Apr 2008
A great political thriller. Smart, topical, chilling, and devastating, this well-written and perfectly acted remake of the 1962 original from the director of 'The Silence of the Lambs' scores for it's brilliantly sharp observation on the current state of politics and corporate affairs in America.
There is a tension all the way through (a trait of truly great thrillers) that never loses its riveting power. Terrific.
