The Manchurian Candidate (2004) is a decent enough political thriller with good actor performances and a screenplay that didn't ruin the movie its a remake of and the book both are based on.

I still recommend the original more, but if you want a more "updated" version, this is an adequate replacement.

I will say one thing about this film – it didn’t match my memory of the film. I thought the brainwashing concept was actually a movie twist that happened near the end, but it was part of the film’s concept the entire time. Does that make the film worse? I’m not sure, but one thing’s for su More
