The Manchurian Candidate 
Main Actor(s)/Actresses: Denzel Washington, Live Schreiber, and Meryl Streep
Memorable supporting cast: Kimberly Elise and Jon Voight
Plot: During the Gulf War, Captain Ben Marco’s patrol was ambushed. For three days they were missing then reappear. Years later, members of Marco’s platoon are having dreams… the same dreams that haunt them. But Raymond Shaw is now a Vice-Presidential candidate having the same dreams too since he was the hero that saved the platoon…. or did he? Were they all brain-washed?
Extra thoughts: This is an exciting film even though it is a rehash of the 1962 version of the same name with Frank Sinatra playing the lead. If you like to think, see it.
