Manchurian Candidate

I've already stated here that I'm not a big Denzel fan. Only really enjoyed him in Training Day. After this one I have to amend that to add "and in Manchurian Candidate" He was very good in this movie.

Lately we have seen Bourne Supremacy and The Village and of the 3 we really enjoyed Manchurian Candidate the most. It was the most interesting of the 3.

This is a Denzel movie, but Liev Schreiber (Kate and Leopold) and Meryl Streep just steal it away. They both give amazing performances. Meryl is perfectly icky as the overbearing mother. Liev goes through so many personality changes.

It's just a very interesting movie. Robert remembered everything about the original, I've never seen it. We have vowed to rent it after this. This one changes it up so it's not a carbon copy of the original one.

Good movie! Rating - a 4!
