The Manchurian Candidate Reviews

I’m a massive fan of Denzel but this is a waste of him and a great supporting cast too. It’s unbalanced, poorly scripted and lags a lot. As well as being ludicrous it’s not even interesting

.8/5

I like Denzel but this movie is not good. I do have a soft spot for it thought because of my friend who doesn’t watch movies but really likes this movie for some odd reason 😂

This was wacky and I liked that

Intense and on the edge conspiracy movie that was flawlessly executed.

Bizarre! I know need to see the original one

good

nour. 5.6/10

Hard to believe this film is over 20 years old considering how relevant and (most concerningly) believable the story feels in the context of today’s political landscape. The cast is absolutely stacked, with amazing performances across the board.

A very good watch indeed..

Never saw the original. This was predictable

Brazy as movie

Trippy. Denzel, Meryl and Liev was a cast I never knew I needed until now. I walked into the film knowing nothing about the source material, so as it stands alone it is very good. Great twists, great performances, and a well rounded film.

8/10.

I hate that this can’t just be a fun political thriller for me. Blackrock, demagogues, political puppets…ugh…🥴 I did enjoy it even with some of the cringy sequences and the very obvious revelation.

watched the old 60s original last year and I must say I really like the way this was spun around and made to fit this particular era in US politics. Really good acting from the main three

9/10 - similar ideal as Bourne Identity, great film, will defo watch again. Denzil and Merly are on top form.

major bennett

Yuh this one is frightening. Shout out Blackrock

This movie needs a rewatch. I'll re-rate it then.

the ending makes it all worth it
