The Manchurian Candidate

[JagLover]

Just saw this film last night and it is a gripping well acted thriller, though perhaps with limited replayability.

Watch out for Meryl Streep, she is very chilling.

I saw this when in Blockbusters the other day, for some reason didn't go for it... may try it out next time I am there then

[lanciachris]

Im not watching it purely because when I see the title I cant help reading 'the mancunian candidate', and imagining some dirty northener trying to get elected or something :P

[Mrs Fish]

that's how I read it too

[Raify]

I thought it was fairly average, then went back and rented the original (with O' Blue Eyes) which I'd never got round to seeing.

That was much better, IMHO.

I thought that the ending let the film down some what

I went to Manchester the other day, and kept looking out for Manchurian way to find my mate's flat! I knew he was near Chinatown, so it sort of made sense!

[Raffles]

I remember watching it and enjoying it. Can't remember why, but remember being let down by the ending too.

I thought that the vice president wanting to be killed was very moving.

How does it compare to the original version?

I wouldn't know.

Denzel Washington is the most overrated actor ever.

What is it with those Dick Emery teeth?

Mail me and I'll let you know. I'm not giving all of the ending away on here

Have to say I thought it was Crap but it wouldn't do if we were all the same!
