They're both very good, suspenseful, and well-acted, but you can only watch it for the first time once. If you've never seen either version, look at the cast list and decide which one you want to start with.

Political power struggle is an unending game, and if you combine a mystery in the movie plot and cast a bundle of powerhouse actors, you've got a guaranteed box office smash. It was just as relevant and engrossing in 1964 as it was in 2004, and if another remake would be made in 2024, it would be just as well-received. The wonderful thing about this story is it's obviously timeless. Taking obvious inspiration from a certain powerful, ruthless female politician of the 1990s, Meryl embodies the bloodsucking, calculating, viscous character in her most realistic performance since The Bridges of Madison County. Meryl's performance in this movie is so chilling, it'll throw you for a greater loop than the story to find out she wasn't nominated for an Academy Award.
While in the original, Angela Lansbury controlled her son, Laurence Harvey, to help her husband's political career, the remake gets another modern touch: Meryl herself is a senator, rather than a housewife. His fellow soldier, Liev Schreiber, comes from a political background and is seen as a front-runner for the upcoming election, thanks to his pushy and powerful mother Meryl Streep. The setting is moved to the current time, so instead of being a Korean war veteran, Denzel fought in the Gulf War. In the remake of the 1964 thriller, Denzel Washington takes on Frank Sinatra's role as a war veteran drawn into a political web of destruction.

They deal beautifully with the theme of free will and the capacity humans have for overriding and overcoming their own brain chemistry. It makes the movie a cautionary tale of sorts, as it is not so removed from reality now as it might have seemed when it was launched. The theme of bioengineering is so present nowadays, as we are pretty much on the verge of brain implants, that it shudders one to think this was in the books even 16 years ago. In terms of acting Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber and Meryl Streep knocked out of the park. Not having seen the original, not knowing this is a remake, judging it on its merits alone I found it an extraordinary achievement in cinema. Reviewed by nti-547-765973 9 / 10 A touching movie experience Is it possible the entire unit was kidnapped and brainwashed to believe Shaw is a war hero as part of a plot to seize the White House? Some very powerful people at Manchurian Global corporation appear desperate to stop him from finding out. As Marco (now a Major) investigates, the story begins to unravel, to the point where he questions if it happened at all. Brokering the incident for political capital, Shaw eventually becomes a vice-presidential nominee, while Marco is haunted by dreams of what happened - or didn't happen - in Kuwait. When his army unit was ambushed during the first Gulf War, Sergeant Raymond Shaw saved his fellow soldiers just as his commanding officer, then-Captain Ben Marco, was knocked unconscious.
