8/10.
A classic thriller, being (of course) remade, The Manchurian Candidate has all of the right ingrediants for a thriller, and they're used to perfection. Made during the paranoia of the Cold War, it's still effective today. A group of soldiers, coming back from the war, are brainwashed into becoming killers for the Soviet Union. This movie is very thrilling and exciting. It's done effectively and in a complex way-but it still works. Angela Lansbury is amazing as the wife of a senator willing to do anything to further his, and her, career. Overall, a deep, entertaining movie.
Rated PG-13.
Running time: 126 minutes
