“While not the classic its predecessor is, this update is well-acted and conjures a chilling resonance.”

Good as the players are, they can't make this hokum remotely believable.

Sleek remake is more violent than original.

Jonathan Demme's new Manchurian Candidate is a gourmet-popcorn movie--a hugely entertaining thriller shot through with dark shards of agony and paranoia. It takes nothing away from the original while delivering pleasures all its own.

[Jonathan Demme's] skill for gripping thrillers was already evident in the past, and his talent for transforming empathy into cinema allows us to fully grasp this character's perspective. [Full review in Spanish]
