The Manchurian Candidate (2004)

The Manchurian Candidate

I preferred this version than the 1962 version. It was easier to understand and more interesting as the music was suspenseful in tense situations.

The main difference of this new version is that Sergeant Raymond Shaw and Captain Marco are inserted with a probe. When anyone says their full title the probe is activated. The other main difference was that Marco was brainwashed into assassinating the opposition but he killed Shaw and his mother instead.
There is a major cliff hanger in the end, the audience do not know if Marco is going to kill the opposition party, they do not know if he is going to be stopped in time.

  1. I loved the new version because suspense was held until the end of the film.
