The Manchurian Candidate

The politics mishap gives it all away due to the structure of the script that build up in front of the audience without any security allowing the audience to breach it easily after which they find themselves waiting to attain a closure to the makers, actors and including themselves too. It is short on technical terms like sound department and production design although is edited perfectly. The script isn't as convoluted as the writers thinks which creates this portal of loop where the audience finds themselves outside the act rather than sinking into it. John Frankenheimer; the director, had done a tremendous work on executing this political plot driven thriller whose trump card up the sleeve isn't enough for it to win the game. The performance objective is nicely handled by Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey on their parallel role and so are Janet Leigh and Angela Lansbury as a supportive cast. There are few scene shot beautifully as they lift up the intensity and the stakes on the screen, creating an energy that can easily be fed to the audience throughout the course of it. The Manchurian Candidate isn't worthy to be elected but can definitely be the "safe" choice to go with.… Expand

Got a great and intriguing setup but loses almost all of its steam in the middle. Has a very good final sequence and ending.
