#124 - The Manchurian Candidate (1962) Review



The Manchurian Candidate (1962), John Frankenheimer
3.5/5

This is an excellent classic, with great twists and turns. Performances are excellent, coupled with the strangeness of the scenes, it makes for a great thriller, albeit a much slower paced thriller. My only real criticism is that the film did tend to drag at some points and was also a bit heavy handed with the messages at times. Overall a really excellent and intelligent thriller.
