The Manchurian Candidate (2004). A reworking of the original film. Some good actors in this films.
First Gulf war, Kuwait - his unit ambushed, Sgt Raymond Shaw saved his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, then-Captain Ben Marco (Denzil Washington), was knocked unconscious. Using the incident for political means, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, while Marco is haunted by dreams of what happened or did it? As Marco (now a Major) investigates the story. Was it that the unit was kidnapped and brainwashed to believe Shaw is a war hero as part of a plot to seize the White House? Some powerful people at Manchurian Global corporation seem desperate to stop him from finding out.
Good film and I’ve no idea why I hadn’t seen it before as I really like Denzil Washington, he’s one of my favourite modern day actors. I’d like to also see the original film where it was based around the Korean War.
